Description Long

The screenplay forms the foundation of every film project. In addition to providing a detailed description of scenes, dialogue, and actions, it serves to organise resources, locations, and schedules. In the first phase, ideas are collected and structured. Based on this, a detailed script is created, which serves as the basis for feedback and further refinements. A good script helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures efficient production.

Preparation

• Develop and discuss ideas.
• Research possible filming locations and actors (What is actually feasible?).
• Draw inspiration from other screenplays.
• Determine an appropriate format for the screenplay (level of detail, etc.).

Execution

1. Develop a rough plot and divide it into scenes.
2. Create a synopsis and a treatment that describes the main content of the film.
3. Write a detailed screenplay that includes scenes, dialogue, and technical instructions.
4. The screenplay can now be presented to the team, and structured feedback can be gathered.
5. Revise the screenplay based on the feedback received.

Taking the time to develop a screenplay increases the chances of successfully realising a good media project. During the screenplay writing process, the media project takes on a fictional form. This provides a low-threshold opportunity to gather feedback and make adjustments.
