Script writing.

by Andrew Atkinson

I have an idea for a comedy movie that I think could be interesting to work on, but I have never written any kind of script before. Has anyone had any experience or thoughts about script writing?

Could you tell us the www's for scriptfrenzy and Nanowrimo please? especially the directions regarding format.

Every time I search for script formatting I come up with a raft of completely different and often contradictory "it must be like this" examples.

Are there BBC or ITV/Channel 4 etc sites for formatting scripts please?

Thanks

David

I suggest that you write down as many points about your new (3rd) idea as possible ASAP. This will help to preserve the concept for you and (hopefully) free-up your mind to keep going on projects 1 and 2.
