Hey blog, before I get started on this scriptwriting blog, I just wanted to set what I'm gonna be working on for the following week. It's mainly gonna be focused on more planning and more research to prep to start production soon! In this one I'll be doing scriptwriting, I'll be reflecting on my Group Meeting, and I'll also be doing some research on both potential titles and title fonts.
Now getting into the screenplay section, in order to write my screenplay I did it on Celtx, a screenwriting software reccomended by my teacher, that in my experience has made the writing process completely seemless. Celtx, allows you to easily transition between the different format types from character, to dialogue to scene description, directions to actors, sound effects, and shot types.

Getting into the actual process, was not too difficult. In one of my Creative Writing class, we have been recently working on playwriting, and although playwriting is slightly different than writing screenplays, to make our lives easier our teacher allowed us to use Celtx as well, which gave me some familiarity with the program and the general format for writing screenplays. I used my storyboard from my previous blog, to guide me through the process of writing the screenplay, going shot by shot through what I designted in my storyboard, and adding scene descriptions and dialogue. Overall, this made the process simple and seamless.
Writing this screenplay, allowed me to further develop what I really want in my opening, and how I want to further develop my characters, the context, and the plot. In the future I'll likely get back to this screenplay, to help me brainstorm further as I envision what the rest of the plot for this movie could be, since after this I want to go back to my screenplay, and ensure that the opening truly fits this vision. After this process, I'll also use it to create a more refined shot list, and shooting schedule, as it easily allows you to see your settings, and which places you must locate to shoot in.
