A screenplay is a written document that tells the story of a movie. It's a blueprint for a film that guides everyone involved in the filmmaking process, from the director to the actors to the production crew.
It's a highly technical document that follows a specific format and includes detailed descriptions of the setting, the characters, the dialogue, and the action. It's a unique form of writing that requires a different approach than other forms of storytelling.
If this is your first encounter with a screenplay, take the time to get used to it. Read a few scripts to get the hang of the flow. You’ll quickly see how different it is from any other writing form you’ve seen before, novel, poem or short story.
In this video, we'll cover what is a screenplay.

Rough Edit: Once we understand how to use the software, well bring in the different shots of our short film, and lay them out on the timeline. Well create a rough cut from these shots, trim and refine our edit as needed.
