1 Know your genre

The first step to writing a balanced film script is to understand the genre you are working in. Different genres have different expectations, conventions, and audiences. You need to know the rules of your genre, and how to use them to your advantage. For example, if you are writing a comedy, you need to know how to set up jokes, use timing, and create contrast. If you are writing a thriller, you need to know how to create suspense, tension, and twists. Knowing your genre will help you structure your plot, develop your characters, and choose your tone.

Damit das Werk aber nicht ?nur? ein Genrestück ist, sondern zugleich von künstlerischem Wert, ist es vonn?ten, die Grenzen des Genres zu kennen, sie auszuloten und, falls n?tig, zu überschreiten. Genialit?t zeigt sich dort, wo überkommene Formen bzw. implizite inhaltliche Aussagen eines Genres, die problematisch sind, decouvriert und überwunden werden. Ein Beispiel: Clockwork Orange inszeniert Gewalt einerseits realistisch-unertr?glich, andererseits als autistisch, wie eine Saloon-Schl?gerei, sodass ein künstlerisch faszinierender Metadiskurs über Gewalt im Film entsteht.

2 Find your theme

The second step to writing a balanced film script is to find your theme. Your theme is the central idea or message that you want to convey through your story. It is what makes your script meaningful and relevant. Your theme should be something that you are passionate about, and that resonates with your audience. For example, your theme could be about love, justice, identity, or freedom. Your theme should guide your choices and actions as a writer, and inform your scenes, dialogue, and symbols.

Oft ist von ?universellen? Themen die Rede, um mit seinem Stück bei einem Massenpublikum Anklang zu finden. Um aber künstlerisch relevant zu sein, sollte die Perspektive, die subjektive Aussage auf bzw. über das Thema originell, relevant und frisch sein.

3 Develop your characters

The third step to writing a balanced film script is to develop your characters. Your characters are the heart and soul of your story, and the main source of entertainment and empathy for your audience. You need to create characters that are realistic, complex, and dynamic. You need to give them goals, motivations, conflicts, and arcs. You need to make them relatable, likable, and memorable. You need to make them speak and act in ways that are consistent, distinctive, and natural.

Obiges spricht für eine (psychologisch) ?realistische? Erz?hlweise. Insbesondere bei einem künstlerischen Ansatz sind Figuren überdies aber auch Repr?sentanten von Ideen, Milieus, Herrschaftsverh?ltnissen, Denkfiguren usf.

4 Write your scenes

The fourth step to writing a balanced film script is to write your scenes. Your scenes are the building blocks of your story, and the units of action and emotion for your audience. You need to write scenes that are clear, concise, and compelling. You need to use the three-act structure, or a variation of it, to organize your scenes into a beginning, a middle, and an end. You need to use the scene and sequel technique, or a variation of it, to alternate between action and reaction. You need to use subtext, imagery, and symbolism to add depth and nuance to your scenes.

Insbesondere im Arthouse werden Szenen aber auch episodisch verknüpft, folgen lose und unverbunden oder assoziativ aufeinander. Hier die Dreiaktstruktur o.?. festzuschreiben kann verhindern, die angemessene Form für den Inhalt zu finden. Wenn bspw. Zufall versus Schicksal, der Einfluss der Zeit oder die Parallelit?t von Handlungen das Thema bilden, l?sst sich u.U. schwerlich kausalchronologisch schlüssig erz?hlen.

5 Edit your script

The fifth step to writing a balanced film script is to edit your script. Editing is the process of revising, refining, and polishing your script until it is ready for production. You need to edit your script for clarity, coherence, and consistency. You need to eliminate any errors, redundancies, or inconsistencies in your grammar, spelling, formatting, or logic. You need to cut any scenes, characters, or dialogue that are unnecessary, irrelevant, or boring. You need to enhance any scenes, characters, or dialogue that are weak, vague, or dull.

6 Get feedback

The sixth and final step to writing a balanced film script is to get feedback. Feedback is the input and advice that you get from other people who read or watch your script. You need to get feedback from different sources, such as your peers, mentors, professionals, or potential audiences. You need to get feedback at different stages, such as your outline, your first draft, or your final draft. You need to get feedback that is honest, constructive, and specific. You need to use feedback to improve your script, but also to trust your own judgment and vision.
