			<content type="html"><![CDATA[As for me, sometimes writing even a short film script could be a complicated thing. Because not often I have such "good" fantasy, you know. I don't think that it is a big mistake to find some inspiration through the web. That is why, I think, sometimes someone's scripts could be so similar.
While searching across web I found this [url]https://www.scriptwriting.biz/turn-your-story-into-screenplay-how-to-write-a-movie-script/[/url]
Maybe, someone also will get the help from them. :) :yes:]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[As I know and prefer, camera angle, effects, included voices and things like that shouldn't be included in the script. Script should only contain the story and condition of the place (INT./EXT. , day/night/dawn, ...) as the only additional information; and the story is told by describing what actors (here: minifigures) do and how is the atmosphere.
However, if you write the script just for yourself, it may be okay to include these information; but make it a habit to differ them.
When you write a script without these info, it brings new ideas when people (or yourself) read it again and again; but, it all depends on you.

Also, it's worth to take time exploring famous writers' scripts. Some good examples can be found [url=http://www.scriptreaderpro.com/movie-scripts-2/]here[/url].]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The only problem with CeltX is that it doesn't format character names properly.  But it's enough for my OCD to prevent me from using it.  I write in OpenOffice and made a template so I can click the margin styles I need for each screenplay element.  It takes not long to get used to.  If anyone uses OpenOffice and wants these margins, let me know, and I'll gladly share!!!!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[When you're doing your own projects, the only thing that is really important is that you can understand it. It is a good idea to get into the habit of writing scripts the "proper" way. I've found that the easiest way to write scripts the Hollywood way is to use [url=https://www.celtx.com/index.html]CelTx[/url] (or something like that). The benefit of using a program is that you can focus on writing your ideas without worrying about the formatting (also, CelTx is my favourite price - free!).

If you're writing a script for someone else, try and avoid merging the script and the shot list. They really should be two different documents (again, a good habit to get into as a young up and coming film maker) but for a simple short project then it isn't as critical.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Here's a sample of the script: 
1. EXT. WORLD - DAY

WIDE SHOT: STEVE walks into the scene from the left and stops a few steps away from the cave.

CLOSE UP: STEVE glances left, then right. He scratches his head and then it pops. (Use sound effect from the leprechaun animation.)

CLOSE-UP: STEVE pulls out a sand block and places it. He starts to build a pre-assembled farm of carrots. He starts building slow, but the pace quickens rapidly. When he is 1/3 complete, the shot ends.

WIDE SHOT: STEVE appears to be all over the place placing blocks and assembling the farm. When he is 2/3 complete, the shot ends.

CLOSE-UP STEVE slows down in his speed building and then the shot ends when he has completed the farm by placing the last block.

It is in courier font]]></content>

The one example I provided is a shooting script, which has specific shots since they're intended for others to shoot.  I sometimes specify specific shots when I want to indicate a certain view, for dramatic reasons.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Hello, I have recently been interested in the format of my scripts to make them more understandable with better detail. How do you write your scripts?  Here's an example of a script I have been working on: [url=https://docs.google.com/document/d/14ycpwwGm8TdxFCqxsEV_3_2zOBBNklVip1V_Wnhe9cA/edit?usp=sharing]Script[/url] It is by no means finished, and the grammar may not be correct because it is just a first draft, but at least you can get an idea on how I do it. 
What do your scripts look like? Do you have some examples on how you write them?]]></content>
