    WRITING A SCRIPT 

    At the first stage of writing try expressing your concept as a single paragraph stating the following: 

    • the principal idea(s) you want to explore 
    • the emotions you want to evoke 
    • the impact you wish to have on the audience 

    Then set the scene. Don’t forget to include important details such as time of day, setting, and the actions of the characters in the scene. 

    Now write the dialogue (words) to be spoken by the characters in the story. Format your writing by skipping lines between one character speaking and a different one speaking, especially if you’re handwriting it. This will enable those reading the script to distinguish between speakers more easily. And also allow space for notes.
