Developing a Script

What everyone should start off with is by first researching what it is that they are wanting to write the script about, be it something that everyone might know about it is still best practice to always do research. What I have found that works best for myself to help develop an idea of a script I have into the best version itself is by working with others.
Working with others is a great way for most people, and myself, to help develop any idea of a script into the best version of itself for both film and TV.

Scripts for both TV and Film are slightly different, scripts for Film usually, for most of the time, follow the typical three act structure, whereas there are typically two primary different types of scripts for TV for a show that is currently on going, like that of Coronation Street and Eastenders the scripts would follow an episodic structure. For a one off or a stand alone episode the script would, as that type of episode name indicates, follow and look more like a film script, the only difference is that it would be significantly shorter than that of a film, depending of whether the one off/stand alone episode is about an hour or not. https://www.grammarly.com/blog/creative-writing/script/ https://www.studiobinder.com/blog/how-to-start-a-script[LOOK FOR BACKUP EVIDENCE WEBSITES]

The music sets the tone for whatever idea of film I have in mind and then, personally, it’s just a matter of bouncing ideas off of the next person/person I am working with that person right now being my classmate Ash Pamment.

Both the structure and layout of the website is very intuitive, and if needed, you can put on a semi-interactive tutorial on to help guide you through everything if you get stuck or confused. However as previously mentioned the website is already intuitive. Having used the website previously on 3 short Films the only downside to said website is that it is subscription based,
