From Story to Script

Out of the 7 Story Types* I took Comedy and turned it into a screenplay to show how a story can translate into a script. This is my way of doing it; I am sure someone else would've done it differently, that's the beauty of it, isn't it?

This is just an example. I know that when I decided to start writing screenplays, I had no idea how this whole thing works, and I think that seeing something like this would've given me a better understanding.

I am hoping that maybe it can be of use for someone at the beginning of their screenwriting journey, and if not, well, I had fun writing it :)

Enjoy.












*My previous posts are Understanding the 7 Story Types by Looking at a Girl and an Apple. The one called Comedy is the story this script is based on.



A side note - If you happen to be an illustrator who'd like to draw these characters for a collaboration (unpaid), then feel free to drop me a line as I'd love to make an animation out of this, just for fun and our own promotional purposes, like sticking it on our websites.
