In this course, we've looked at the main elements needed to create a movie script. From the original idea, to the storyline, to the practical aspects of formatting the script, and the directions required. The original three act structure postulated by Aristotle all those years ago, has been developed by modern script writers. Until now, we have a perfect plan for creating a good movie. All you need is the idea and the application. And anyone can create a movie script that could be accepted by Hollywood, or a main film producer.
When your script is finished, there are a few things you need to consider before you try and submit it to a company or an agent to try and get it made into a film. Before submitting your script insurance complies with industry formatting guidelines. If you use Amazon story writer or a similar software, then this is taken care of automatically. Normally, a query letter or pitch letter should accompany the script with the contents as follows. State brief introduction and the purpose of the letter, the movie script title in capital letters, the movie logline, a synopsis and the short biography a logline is simply a one sentence description of your movie with a hook to interest the reader. The best way to come up with a logline is to browse the log lines of movies on this website, where you can see one sentence descriptions of many successful films.
Here is a one sentence log line for diehard. It's short, and designed to hook the reader into wanting to know more and see the film. The synopsis should be no longer than a paragraph just to tell the basic story as briefly as possible, leaving out all the detail. A short biography is highly recommended, even if you have no related experience, but don't lie. It's very difficult to gather the information necessary to distribute a script yourself. It's best to pay a professional to approach industry professionals.
This service is not expensive and well worth the trouble. Two services you might consider are on the screen right now. have no connection with either organization. I really hope you've enjoyed this course. Now it's time to get your head down and write those scripts. Keep in mind that anyone can do it.
