Original Script Writing

Brainstorm
& choose an idea
for your scene

If you have trouble
deciding on an idea
for your scene, use
google and search:
"Scene Prompts" or
"Script Prompts"

Write your
"elevator pitch"

An "elevator pitch" is a quick description of your idea

Create a google doc and begin planning out your script.

You can list character names,
outline your plot, take notes, brainstorm, etc in your google doc— whatever is most helpful to you to organize your ideas.

Write your script

Using the Script Format guidelines, write your original scripted scene.
Keep in mind that scripts are written in a specific format.
Use the script format references to check that you are writing in the correct format.

Beta Test

Have a classmate read through your script as an audience member. Get feedback regarding whether the scene "works" or whether additional information must be added.

Edit & improve

Use the reference material to check that you have met expectations, are writing in the proper format, and are creating a complete scene.
