Every deserving screenplay eventually finds a buyer to option or purchase the material. There are no exceptions.
As a trainee writing a screenplay for the first time is a challenge. You don't know what to say where, where to bring a twist, climax or ending. As time goes by with consistent writing and reading you get to grasp how to write a compelling screenplay. After undergoing a rigorous scriptwriting class you get to know how to:-
- Each story needs a hero, he or she must undergo an ordeal to seize his prize.
- Every story is incomplete without a villain
- all heroes always refuse the call to action at some point
- Sum up your plot in 30 words or less when telling it to friend, critics or pitching
- Make your first line of your story compelling otherwise you'll loose most readers
- Give your character a mentor to help them through their problems
- Every story has a turning point and your hero has to complete the task
- Your story must have an underlying message some refer to them as themes
- Most people enjoy a feel-good story, once in a while write one.
