Are you having a great story idea, or are you hoping to write a Nollywood movie script? There is no more lucrative form of writing than writing a movie script. It is technical and probably one of the hardest forms of writing. You need to use the language and grammar of the TV, which are pictures and images, to tell that powerful story of yours. In writing a script, you are writing pictures, not words.
Many people give up just after they have written the intro and are not able to develop the story. If that is you, then you need this. When this happens, you probably begin to think it is completely impossible for you to write a script, or maybe it’s best to just leave it for the professionals.
That is not true. Anyone can write a script. Just don’t expect it to be easy – it takes hard work. You will be beaten up most of the time when getting started. To expand your ideas in Nollywood, we have made an article about the problems related to scriptwriting in Nollywod. This is to help you get ahead in scriptwriting.
Prepare To Write The Best Nollywood Script
If you intend to write a Nollywood movie script, you need to take the following important steps first to understand screenplay writing:
- Choose a genre and make it the focal point. Don’t write a script in different genres – write a script in one genre. You are asking people to buy a script that will cost them lots of money, and probably a lot more to produce it.
- Knowing a story is not enough, you should also know how to develop it. You can learn this concept by picking up a produced script and analyzing every atom of it. Read through the script while watching the movie to fully understand the structure of the screenplay. Understand the sequences and scenes, tone and pacing
- Spend time learning the structure of screenplays. There are special formatting commonly used for dialogues, scene shifts and events. To finalize a script, you need to know this formatting.
