Here are 5 screenwriting tips for you to do before starting your screenplay. They have transformed my process and are a great place for any beginner, keen on learning how to write a movie, to use as a guide before getting started.
I consider this to be part of a screenwriting 101 playlist that I've created on my channel. You are welcome to check out the playlist for more. You can access the first video, my 100-day screenwriting challenge, here: youtu.be/VilWOXL8sQQ
Please note, this video was not sponsored. Starbucks strictly follows Covid Protocol as directed by World Health Organization and masks were removed only for the purpose of the video.
We also filmed before opening, no customers were in the store. I'm a regular, passionate about coffee, and it was the best to feature the incredible actress, also a barista, who has introduced me to my favourite beverages instore, in my video. She kindly offered to help me out by acting in the mini screenplay I wrote as the opening segment of this video.
If you're wanting to write a screenplay, it helps to create some shorter scripts that give you insight into more of what it would feel like for a director, or actor, to read and use the movie script.
