![]() ![]() Quid pro quo.Īs for the writing issues, I went over most of them briefly, but I'll go into some more detail. Here's a tip I'm sure you'll hear again: read and give feedback around here and you'll get more reads in return. So if you want to hone your skills, mess around with this. I'm not recommending you write that much, but I'm just saying in some cases I have come across some really good (and really long) fan-fics.įor something like Scream? 90-100 pages is fine. It was like Halloween meets Michael Mann. I have read two Halloween fan-fics within that page range that were absolutely amazing. ![]() Three, it's 180 pages.Īs for those 180 pages. Number one, not many people are interested in the same old slasher story. then write all the fan-fics you want.Īmbitioniskey is probably right, though, you won't get much attention with a Scream fan-fic. Unless you're just in it for fun and not trying to sell something. While it's fun to write fan-fics - if nothing more than to just improve upon your writing - I recommend that you take a stab at something original (no pun intended ). You say this is the first script you have ever submitted online.īut is it the first script you have ever written? 181 pages is pretty impressive, so now just tighten it. Write names in ALL CAPS to intro characters, but after that, just write their names normal. You have some asides in action lines ("Who would be calling at this hour?") that, while they sometimes have their uses, take up space and could be cut.Īnd you don't have to capitalize character names every time you mention them. No FADE IN, "we see" on the first line (avoid things like "we see" if possible). I skimmed through the first few pages and you have some writing issues, but I won't go into too much detail until I know you're around. If you rework some of this, not only will you end up with a more desirable page count, but you'll also have a much tighter screenplay. Then you should tighten the plot, shorten scenes, and remove/combine whole characters if they don't serve the plot. Just make sure nothing here is wasting space. Then go through and take out entire scenes if you have to. I suggest going through and first removing any redundant action lines, useless dialogue, etc. Sometimes writers submit 200 page screenplays that are really 120 because the formatting is off. Your formatting is mostly okay, meaning there's more to fixing the page count than just correcting the margins. A couple pages below or above that is fine, but 180 pages isn't gonna cut it. Celtx and Trelby are free, and make writing way easier since you don't have to manually format dialogue and whatnot. #SCREAM MOVIE SCRIPTS PDF SOFTWARE#Screenwriting software will solve the file format problem. 181 pages is way too long, and you won't get any reads (that, and the fact that the file isn't a PDF- the accepted file format around here. Gary, if you're around, you should work on the page length here.
