A striking image of a star in Berlin – looks like the start of an apocalyptic movie!
It is just as important to create a vibrant script visually as it is to create an interesting story. Find out why with tips we’ve shared with writers for actual script consultancies from WriteMovies.
- The majority of successful scripts begin with a strong image (or series of images).
- Equally, so too do the better scripts END on a strong image.
- The visuals are an important way to establish what genre your script is. The earlier you can do this, the better.
- Your story can also be told just as much through visuals as much as words and actions. Look at ALL IS LOST, WALL-E, and GRAVITY – there is little dialogue in these films, but the visuals and imagery adds to both compelling stories and characters.
- Skipping through several years in your script can be quite disjointing – use visual motifs to signal the transitioning of time passing.
