How to write the script?

1, the script is mainly composed of lines and stage descriptions. The first-person narrator is used for dialogue, monologue and narration. The stage description in the script is a narrative word written in the playwright's tone. Including the description of the time and place of the plot, the description of the characters' image characteristics, body movements and inner activities, the description of the scene and atmosphere, and the requirements for scenery, lighting and sound effects.

2, script writing, the most important thing is to move to the stage, drama text is not the completion of art, only half of it can be completed, until the stage performance (that is, "performance text") is the final artistic presentation. A good script can have dual values of being suitable for reading and creating excellent stage performances.

3. The structure of the script can be generally divided into "beginning, development, turning point, climax and climax ending". Of course, the structure will change according to the different screenwriter skills.

4. Script formats include split scene scripts and split mirror scripts. Scene-divided scripts are often used in the creation of TV scripts and movies, including the beginning, scenes, actions, dialogues, etc., but the movies are relatively short, so the use of scene-divided scripts can highlight the intuitive feeling of movie scripts. Story board, generally referring to story board after the split shot, is mostly the basis and preparation for writing the story version and the Taiwan Province version.

5. The creation of the script mainly uses words to express a series of pictures, so people who read the script should be able to instantly connect words with a picture and bring it into the world of animation.

6. An excellent movie script, the less dialogue, the stronger the picture sense and the greater the impact. There should not be too much dialogue in the script, otherwise the whole story will become incoherent, and it will look like listening to an audio book to the audience, so boring that the play will become a "soap opera"

7. The plot is outside the main line, so it is not appropriate to arrange too many sub-lines or more than three main lines. When there is more than one main line, the corresponding sub-lines need to be reduced. When writing a script, if there are too many details, too many characters in the details and too many scenes interspersed, the story will be complicated, and the audience may not understand it or know what the author wants to express.

In particular, avoid the "three noes" in script creation;

1, no fish. The "fish" here mainly refers to the heavy content of the play. According to Socrates, an unexamined life cannot be called life. The task of art is to help people look at life better. Art should reveal the profound reality under the appearance of our utilitarian life.

Excellent dramas are all dramas that deeply stimulate feelings, making feelings excited in a meaningful and directional way under the guidance of the spirit of drama. Engels criticized the representative writers of so-called "true socialism" in Germany in his early years, and thought that they lacked the talents necessary for a storyteller because their world outlook was vague.

2. Much ado about nothing. As we all know, TV plays need to tell good stories. But at present, some dramas are divorced from life and think the story is "Kan". Looking back at some excellent TV dramas, they also take the form of "talking" after entering the creation. But this kind of "talking" is a necessary way to seek a fulcrum to emerge from the shell on the basis of rich living materials.

If you just tell a story through hearsay and sit in the cupboard and make up the story by imagining the audience's taste, it is doomed to failure. Because the story can be fictional, but the plot, especially many details, can't be fabricated out of thin air. Details are the key to the success of this play. Any good literary and artistic work is the author's life history and spiritual history, which is condensed by honest creative labor.

3, no roots, no roots. A TV screenwriter without a story is like cooking without food, but if the story is not told well, it will waste the material. The "deduction" of any story and character's behavior should be "a perfect system must be seamless and must achieve the perfect combination of jade and essence." His (her) love and dislike, hate and hate should not be rootless.
