3 Ways to Bring Your Movie Closer to the Big Screen

For script writers, movies exist everywhere. And by 'everywhere' I actually mean that literally. Devoted script writers tend to create movie scenes pretty much all the time and in any situation. From the little things, like the smell of fresh bread roaming out of the corner bakery, to the big things, like social movements and global affairs, a writer can be inspired by almost anything. But exactly does one do with an inspired idea? Writing a screenplay is a long and dedicated task, and even the greatest ideas in your head might not translate to the page. For example, a fantastic beginning won't necessarily culminate in a coherent ending. Writing a screenplay requires a lot of forethought and preparation. You need a basic understanding of how acts, scenes and sequences work. You also need strong characters that learn and grow over the course of the story. You need to integrate a degree of sympathy and respect for your audience. You need believable dialogue. You need setting descriptions and fact checking. You need every line on every page to be better than anyone would expect.
