    Writing and Rewriting (How to Write a Script)

    It's the penultimate episode of the season, and this time we're thinking about how to get the writing done. Methods to stay motivated and make everything feel more manageable by setting targets and taking on the script in sections. We then consider how to rewrite, including how to look at your own work and analyse what could be improved, allocating priorities to any drafts you undertake.

    The Anatomy of a Script (How to Write a Script)

    Hello script fans! In part four of the How to Write a Script odyssey we have a quick think about research and the instruments we might use to do some writing, before delving into the anatomy of a script. We'll ponder elements such as scene headings, action lines, parentheses and transitions so as to understand what the heck they are, what the heck they do and how we can use them effectively as we write our wonderful scripts.

    Plotting (How to Write a Script)

    Like an unstoppable freight train, we move on to plotting, thinking over establishment, escalation and resolution, things to bear in mind when formulating beat sheets and scene by scenes, and how a plot can evolve, or emerge from different directions. And of course we apply this to our launderette based show. All this while Robin can't breathe properly through his nose due to dreaded lurgy. If you're an at home replicator of the show, then this is your opportunity to write a beat sheet or scene by scene outline to guide your story as you write it.

    Character Creation (How to Write a Script)

    Now that we've got a decent sense of the concept we want to write, it's time to start filling in the details, starting out with the important act of character creation, since most scripts without characters in them tend to be on the less interesting side. We go over the roles a character may play in the story, where to take character inspiration from and how to develop their psychology, plus the question of whose story you are telling. All this plus a cheeky section on setting too. If you're writing along at home (Not during the show, presumably) then this week is your chance to come up with some enticing character descriptions. Maybe someone who likes to wear a hat? That's interesting, isn't it?
