SCRIPT SUPPORT

Writing your script is a journey into self-discovery, where your inner world pours out in the form of a story.

Being creative at writing scripts and related material (synopsis, treatment, pitch deck etc.) is not enough when it comes to facing the market; technical skills and the ability to objectively hone your work to the needs of the industry are also essential.

Scriptwriters are often so caught up in the imagination and creation process, that they find it challenging to detach themselves and judge whether their story is exploited to its full potential. That’s where an external eye can come in useful!

I feel really passionate about understanding what type of writer a client is aiming to become and, as I have done for my own career, I create bespoke ways to help reach that goal, from the initial brainstorming phase through to the execution and presentation of their project.

To Plot or Not To Plot

Imagine that you want to go on a trip somewhere: after deciding the purpose of it and the final destination, you start planning how to get there and what to do when you arrive. Come the moment of departure, you go through a series of smaller events (leaving your house, phoning a taxi, getting to the airport, buying yourself a nice meal while you wait for your flight to be called) that eventually take you, step by step, to your final destination. Each small event is either instigated by you or happens to you, provoking your reaction. Now imagine that you want to go to that same place, but you simply decide that it doesn’t really matter how: you just get up from your chair and after a few acts of minimal preparation, you lock your house door behind you and see where your instincts take you.

Writing Great Visual Descriptions: Less or More?
Writing Great Visual Descriptions: Less or More?

Very often we are so busy building the dynamics of our story (character arc, structuring of the plot, etc.) that as soon as we have those established, we jump to the page and type away, confident to have done all the preparatory work. It’s easy to forget to address our writing style, which is possibly the most immediate indicator of our talent as storytellers. Style, as much as the content of your story, reveals theme. It reveals your voice.
