CHAPTER 2 ESSENTIALS
Film ideas may either be original or come from source material; they are intellectual property, and your creative rights and those of others must be protected and respected.
Well-made films are well structured, weaving theme, plot, and character into a compelling narrative.
Easily accessible software programs will make your script look like a script by helping you with the proper format.
Development—the process of revising the script with other stakeholders in the film—perfects the script and gets it ready for production.
