Video: Scriptwriting

A script is a written version of a video story.

It is broken down into scenes, each with a specified location and time.

Dialogue is formatted so that it's easy for actors and directors to read.

Software tools such as Celtx (sadly, no free version anymore, although there is a 30 day trial) make it easier to write a script.

Example scripts from many Hollywood films: The Daily Script
