The details will sell your script.
I was re-watching The Bear last night and had an epiphany. The show, if you don’t know it, is about a chef who takes over his brother’s restaurant after his brother kills himself. Now, that story could take place anywhere, but this one takes place in Chicago, Illinois.
The accents are nailed, the wardrobe is nailed, and they talk about local things that I might not always know about, but that steep me in the world.
The details in this show are so precious and so specific that I find myself disappearing into every episode moments after it begins.
Do your scripts do that? Probably not. But they can, and they should.
A screenplay is like a blueprint for a film. It has to be engaging and visually descriptive to ensure that your story stands out. As a screenwriter, it’s important to make your specific story details pop to keep your readers hooked and your story memorable.
In this comprehensive guide, we will go through some stuff that will help you craft a screenplay with vivid details, engaging characters, and a unique story world.
