Screen Writing Tips:

1. Come up with a specific idea of what you want to happen in the interview. Create the premise and purpose of that story. What is the situation and what are the goals of the story and main characters involved?

2. Your characters will drive the action so make sure you make them interesting and innovative.

3. Create an outline of your setting first before you begin actually writing dialogue and the script. It might help to create a basic roadmap of what will happen in your story. Sketch out a general plan and envision how the interview will unfold.

4. Remember, scripts are all about action and dialogue. Make sure your characters speak realistically, and try not to mix styles of speech and vocabulary too much unless you are going for a certain effect.

5. Set the scene. Don't forget to include important details such as time of day, setting, and actions of the characters in the scene. These are nearly as important as the dialogue that occurs.

6. Edit yourself and continually revise your writing, and, if possible, show the script to a friend or teacher who has writing experience and can critique and improve the script as needed.

7. Words that should be stressed or said more clearly are written in bold or underlined.

8. Your script should have a cover page. It should clearly show the title and the author or authors of the interview.
