Screen Writing Ideas

. Opens up with a monolog of Sophie talking about past sitting in a dark room or in the diving seat off her car symbolising her moving forwards.

. Starts going into detail about how exited she was when she started walking to Rob and planed to meet up.

. Cuts to them sitting in the cafe Shopie seems nervous and is quite but rob seems more open and relaxed.

. Cuts back to the car or dark room and she says ” After that my life stared to go down hill”

. Cuts to Rob and Shopie in the flat and Rob is drunk and starts being abusive and shouting at her. Rob is at the other end of the room hands the table and leaning over with his hands on a bottle. Shopie is sitting alone on the sofa and curled up trying not to cry wrapping her arms rounder legs trying to protect herself.

. Rob finally loses it and throws the bottle across the room smashing at the wall. Rob says “you stupid bitch why can’t you do anything right.”

. Shoipe runs into the bedroom and slams the door and begings to cry. She then starts screaming and banging on the door.

. Cuts to the car/ black room saying” that’s when I knew I needed to leve”

. Cuts to now and how far she has come and all the stuff in her life now and how she is enjoying life now.

. Sitting in the car about to go off on her on her journey.

I have downloded fade in a screen wighting app so I will be making my script on there. I will have a go at a short draft on Wednesday.

This is a really useful website and i have learnt a lot about how a script should be layed out and how to keep the audience interested.

Jerry Maguire.
screenplay by Cameron Crowe

I think this script by Cameron Crowe is really interesting and i think the layout is simple but also easy to follow/read for the actors. As it will be my first script i have ever written i want it to be easy to read and not confusing for anyone to read.
