Screenwriting : A good foreigners by Nantaba Harriet

A good foreigners

I really need your help guys

Maurice Vaughan

Hi, Nantaba Harriet. Welcome to the community. Stage 32 has a blog that'll help you navigate the platform and connect with creatives and industry professionals all over the world. www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...

And Stage 32’s Community Open House will help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-s-august-community-open-house).

I suggest adding a profile picture of yourself. People will feel more comfortable networking and collaborating with you if they know what you look like. And if you have a picture, your profile will show up when someone searches for you. You can upload a picture by clicking the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner and selecting “Edit profile” in the drop-down menu, then clicking the red button underneath your location and choosing "Update profile picture."

What do you need help with?

Nantaba Harriet

I got some problem in my project that am working on and I asked al meta on WhatsApp but it confuses me but I wanted to share a picture of my script and know what you think about it if am allowed to do it

Nantaba Harriet

Guys can you tell me if my script is in traditional format

Maurice Vaughan

Your script isn't in traditional format, Nantaba Harriet, but a screenwriting software will fix that. I suggest reading this blog: www.stage32.com/blog/screenwriting-software-to-use-if-you-cant-afford-fi...

I also suggest reading this article (https://screencraft.org/blog/how-to-format-a-script/) and spec scripts (www.stage32.com/loglines) to see how to format your script.

Rutger Oosterhoff

Download the free version of Writer Duet: screenwriting software for getting the right format. Right now, looking at your screenplay:

1.

You only use FADE OUT at the very end of your screenplay.

2.

No "END OF SCENE"

Also, for a spec script ( as yours) no scene numbers.

3.

Left top:

FADE IN:

(Normally only use ones.)

Blablabla ( is end of previous scene(s), action line or dialog, only you know.)

SUPERIMPOSE: KOREA

(Called just SUPER the second time you use it)

( this (?extra?) info can also go into the main header, like INT. TRUNP TOWER (KOREA) - DAY it's for you to choose))

INT COMPANY - DAY

MINHOA comes....

... working place.

(1. So action lines align with the main header.)

(2. Better to use the name of the company, so we know what we're dealing with; better establish place of action)

MINOA

(smirking)

You think...

(CHARACTER/DIALOG [somewhere in the middle; in between [smirking], the PARENTGETICAL, a bit to the left of the middle. )

Minoa walks.....Mr. Choi.

"CUT TO" always at the right, called a "TRANSITION"

EXT. ENTRENCE - DAY

Car arrives. ASSISTANT YUNG (Only the first time you introduce a character you CAP, you probably already know this)

MINOA

(smiling) (almost never start your parentetical with a cap)

Welcome...please!

Minoa shows him the way...company.

CUT TO: ( At the right again)

INT. COMPANY - DAY

Blablabla

Realize that in a company you go from location to location: working place to hall, to different working place, to different floor, by elevator, to entrence, etc; all thiae differebt PLACES of ACTION need their own (MAIN) HEADER. Be as explicit as possible,!

Or choose the Trelby freeware, as I just mentioned in my comment to another post.
