ABSTRACT
Knowing how to describe visuals, sound, and action so that a production team can understand your intentions is the essential task of a scriptwriter. However, knowing this does not help you come up with a program idea or construct a script. How scripts get started is often a mystery to the beginner. One thing is certain-you do not just start describing scenes and immediately write a first draft script. That is a recipe for failure. Scriptwriting is preceded by a great deal of thinking. Once you have done the right thinking, the writing follows. A strong creative concept is the foundation of successful scriptwriting. We now need to outline the steps needed to develop a creative concept.
