Script writing

This is the thing I think I am best at. I’ve always been good at visualising things in my head and threading together bits and pieces of storylines into full pieces, and I believe scriptwriting is the part of making a film that requires those skills the most. A film is visual media; that means imagery and icons are the most powerful tools you need to create the best film. Scriptwriting allows you to specify icons in their simplest forms, allowing the storyboarders and directors to use their own eye and interpretation of your words to create what is seen. This is the similarity that scripts have to books in my eyes. However, films are visual media, so you cannot enter the mind of the characters shown on screen and be told how they feel like in a book. This is the difference that scripts have to books. Imagery and dialogue tends to be the best used tool to explain how a character is feeling, which can be anything from an emotional close -up to a personal icon of the characters changing physically. This is the bit I like the most about script-writing: it feels like a challenge, but once you figure out that perfect way to portray feelings through imagery, it feels amazing.
