Script Writer Software
When someone new tries to push a script is that a spec script?
When someone new starts trying to sell a script 9 times out of ten that is a spec script right (meaning the writer has no part of the C/U-fade to black/voice over commands/insert song a,etc) That is the shooting script right?
I have been looking at scripts to movies I have seen and some are just so different in structure. Wanting to print off some scripts and then watch the movie as it reads to try to understand it a bit more.
That is all the directors job and NEVER the writers correct? So one would just focus on the story and making it play out in a present tense and making it eye friendly.
I want to make sure I got the basic idea.
Also what is some good software to use for the format?
Lastly, on a spec script what do you do for minor characters or even extras? (do you give them names or cop1/suspicous looking man/stoner/etc..) Do you even acknowledge the existence of extras or is that someone elses line?
Funny how one question can turn into 100
1. Correct
2. Watching movies and reading the corresponding scripts is an excellent way to get a sense of how stories get translated by an entire cast and crew from the page to the screen.
3. Yes, focus on story and structure.
4. Most people prefer Final Draft
