The following are some techniques and methods for writing a novel or movie script: - ** Storyline **: - The story outline was crucial. When writing, the story had to be condensed reasonably and the key elements had to be clear. For example, for a widely read story, carefully extracting the outline was the key first step. With the story outline, he could roughly predict what the adapted script would look like. - Find the main conflict. Conflict was the key to a play. In a movie adaptation, the conflict that ran through the story had to be clearly defined. This included determining the protagonist's conflict, thinking about whether the conflict was convincing, whether it could be overcome in a more realistic way, and whether there was a satisfactory theme conflict. Although it may be difficult to simplify the story into simple conflicts, especially when adapting a longer book, reducing the main conflicts to one or two sentences can help you understand the purpose and form of the adaptation. At the same time, remember that the key to creating a summary is the power of the protagonist, the target, and the opponent, and apply it to the book you want to adapt. - ** Character Creation **: - The main character decides to use the second chance regardless of conflict and opposition, seizing it to continue pursuing his overall needs. This step helped to show the character's initiative and sense of purpose, allowing the character to have a clear direction of action in the story, thus promoting the development of the plot. - ** Changing from novel to script **: - The novel focused on the inner thoughts of the characters and the expression of their lives. This was their inner quality, but the script needed to exteriorize these inner things. - When adapting a novel into a script, you can remove the illogical parts or parts that you don't like. Then, you can add in the dramatic conflicts and elements that you are good at, such as humor. - ** In terms of format and details **: - The title page should be marked with the name of the script and the name of the script. The title should be in large font, underlined, and centered about three inches below the top edge of the page. In the lower right corner of the title, write your relevant contact information (name, address, city, province, zip code, and phone number) in single-spaced lines. - In terms of description, if you were writing a novel and changing it to a script, you had to pay attention to the creation of a sense of image. You could use actions plus details, actions plus five senses (vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, etc.), actions plus labels, etc. to enhance the sense of substitution in the description.
