Step Two : The Script

Before writing the acutal script, the story has to be outlined. At this point there can be some unresolved details but the main plot element should be figured out. Then, with the outline as a guide, I can start writing the actual script.

Dialogue is the hardest and most important element to write for me. It has to be written in character, communicate the required information necessary to propel the plot forward and do all this without appearing contrived. Something easier said than done.

To see the actual script for page 14 (and some of pages 13 and 15) click below. The pencil marks that appear on the sample page were added during the thumbnail process. More on that in the next step.
