Rewriting the Screenplay and Script
In a previous blog post I submitted a script that was incomplete and deemed it unsuitable for my film opening. After properly reviewing it, I realized that the script lacked realistic and effective dialogue alongside the lack of actions shown. As a result, I decided to create a new one from scratch with inspiration from iconic and professional screenplays within the industry.
I researched several iconic screenplays and their corresponding films, including Forrest Gump, Aliens, and Pulp Fiction with the screenplays being shown alongside their movies down below. These scripts provide good examples for how dialogue, actions, and pacing are used to develop the characters and provide a good narrative image.
I analyzed these examples through a website called Script Reader Pro (Link at the bottom) and with it I was able to revise my script with better dialogue among other elements. In comparison to the professional scripts which demonstrated how dialogue should reveal characters and their relationships, while describing their visual actions clearly, mine were terrible.
Using these newfound insights, I rewrote my screenplay to include the scene descriptions and make the dialogue feel more natural and realistic. This better explains the relationships between the protagonists and adds even more details onto the film. At this current stage, only Scene 2 (The Protagonists' Scene) is included, as Scene 1 (The Antagonist's Scene) doesn't contain any dialogue and primarily relies on the visual storytelling aspect. I won’t say that my screenplay is perfect as I neglected to add in descriptions for the scene but I believe it to be just fine for the opening.
