Writing a screenplay?!
Question: Writing a screenplay!?
I have a bunch of ideas that I think would make good movies or that I would like to write about!. While I am writing, or attempting to write these screenplays the images of how it would look in a movie flash across my mind and then I just describe what I see in my mind!. Is that how it is supposed to work!? Is it something you can learn!? Or is it something you are born with!?
How can I write a good screenplay!?
Any advice thanksWww@Enter-QA@Com

Answers:
First, just write down what you are thinking!. Don't worry about putting it in some coherent order!. Just write everything down in an outline form!.
Next, look up scripts and how they are constructed!. They are a lot simpler than a manuscript for a novel, yet they are difficult because you have to write the lines, lighting, scenes and camera moves!.
A script might look something like this!. Note: all type is centered!.
Scene: Space, orbiting unknown world!.
Camera pan left to show spacecraft
Zoom in to bridge of ship to show Captain pacing back and forth!.
Scene, inside bridge: The Captain and a security officer are discussing the software breach that caused warp system malfuntion!.
Captain, in concerned voice: I wonder what happened!?
Security officer looks around and raises eyebrow: I don't know sir!. ( hopes that is the right answer) But it will be awhile before we can identify the source!.
And so on!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

If your are thinking about actually making these screenplays or approaching a broadcaster you could give them the idea and then ask to work with some script writers so that they can express your ideas and refine what you are saying as if you just describe what you want could be confusing, or draw the scenes you wantWww@Enter-QA@Com
A screenplay is tough to write!. I think of cool action things or little tales that would make great stories all of the time!. However, can you write dialogue!? that is the hard part!. If you are gonna do silent films then Ok!. Otherwise, read some scripts, and pretty much follow what they do!. If you have the money, Get Final Draft for about $220 and it can help you!.
