I think they’re very useful to writing a great script. The thing that would also advance a script is giving it some iconic and original quotes and dialogues, for example:

“Hasta la vista, baby” – Terminator 2:Judgement Day

“It’s not the years, it’s the mileage” – Raiders of the Lost Ark

Er, don’t you mean subjective?

Tip 14. Get someone else to read what you’ve written and see if it makes any sense.

But what about the structure? This is the element we develop to present at times (but not necessarily) any common events, isn’t it?

I think the structure itself is part of the creative process. And it is sure thing you can do the best of it.

It would be great to hear your thoughts about it.

I’m writing my first novel and a lot of these points apply to novel writing too. Some are very obvious, but sometimes you need to be reminded of the basics! And it’s amazing, yes, how many movies that are really bad, make it into the movie theatre….even more amazing, the general public pay to see them!?!

I am just amazed at how so many movies actually make it into the theater without following these ideas.
