In writing a script, it can be intimidating to craft a 90- to 120-page story, but the process can be easily broken down into a series of steps, each designed to make sure that the script is properly
structured.

Title
Title (1–5 words). Name the film. This doesn’t have to be the film’s
final title, but a strong working title can help maintain focus of
what the story is about.
I.e "Never Again".

Theme
Theme (5–15 words). What is the “moral of the story?” Beneath
the story, plot, characters, and genre, what is the message you want
to convey to the audience after they finish watching the movie?
Make sure that every scene, every moment, and every character
supports this theme. If you ever encounter writer’s block, or don’t
know where a scene should go, refer to the theme and write a
scenario that supports it.i.e "A man’s quest to find the truth supersedes everything, even
love and death."

Logline
Logline (15–25 words). Describe the good guy, the bad guy, the
setting, and the conflict. The logline is the basic premise of what the movie is about. Think about what a movie reviewer would write up in the newspaper when trying to describe the premise of the film in a clear, concise manner. After you describe the who, what,
why, when, and where, be sure to identify the conflict, or there’s
no story. A line like “. . . and problems arise when . . .” strongly sets up the conflict in the story.

Treatment
Treatment (2–3 pages). The treatment is a short-story form of the movie that describes what happens from the beginning to the end of the film. It reads like a novel and serves as an easy way for the writer to understand the characters and events as they appear in the movie. Treatments
are valuable writing tools that allow the writer to work out the story points in a short form before moving on to write the longer script.
When you write the treatment, you can begin incorporating script-formatting elements that will eventually make their way into the fi nished screenplay. For
example, each time a new character is introduced in your treatment, type the
name of the character in capital letters followed by the character’s age and a briefing description.
