Script Writing
Scripts are good setups for writing and manoeuvering a show. In addition, a script will require the following:
Image credit
- a brief synopsis of the play (background summary)
- ***setting (time and place)
- names of characters and a brief description of each character
- development of a plot working towards a climax and a conclusion
- register - vocabulary usage to match the time and the audience
- effects- costume, musical, technical and lighting
Screenwriters are responsible for researching the story, developing the narrative, writing the script, screenplay, dialogues and delivering it, in the required format, to development executives. Screenwriters therefore have great influence over the creative direction and emotional impact of the screenplay and, arguably, of the finished film. Screenwriters either pitch original ideas to producers, in the hope that they will be optioned or sold; or are commissioned by a producer to create a screenplay from a concept, true story, existing screen work or literary work, such as a novel, poem, play, comic book or short story.

Guidelines on how to write a script
- Create a title page. The title page must include your name and contact details and your agent's name if you have an agent.

Image credit - Use the correct margins, breaks and font. Courier font (typewriter font) 12 pt, will give your script a professional look and is easier to read. You should use the correct indentations for each part of the script. The reader will differentiate between dialogue, scene and description.
- Use the correct formatting for your intended method of presentation.
