Story Maps: How to Write a GREAT Screenplay

your goal is make the Reader feel the same emotion as they read the script as the Audience will feel when they watch the movie.

DECLARATION OF WAR/ASSUMPTION OF POWER (page 75):

Concise, simple, and succinct.

There should be plenty of white space on every page, with a nice balance of description and dialogue.

it's your job to make the reader WANT TO READ your description by seducing them with a compelling narrative voice that establishes TONE, PACING and EMOTION

I suggest you only cap a character's name in description upon their first appearance on screen; this is a MUST.

COMBAT (optional) (page 45):

"Good dialogue is not real speech, it is the ILLUSION of real speech."

-Must be going forward, not backward, so not repetitive of anything previous.
