Script Writing!

In class, we had a whole lesson about scriptwriting and my teacher showed us a really useful tool called Celtx! Celtx is a pre-production media software that is utilized by online users to organize and design projects like documentaries, stage plays, and films. As a student, this seemed to be a really useful tool for me since it is easily accessible and cost-free. I realized that as a user there is the ability to upgrade to a premium subscription but the free version provided me with all the tools I needed to create my own script and that was all I needed!

I decided to make an account and test it out and it proved to be really easy to use. To create a project all I had to do was simply click "new project" and it allowed me to title my project and even select what episode I was writing if it was a television show. As I was playing around with it I realized there were some other accessible tools including tools to create a storyboard and even index cards. However, today I was exploring the scriptwriting aspect so I selected Script. The program easily allowed me to title every scene and even provided suggestions to aid me in the process. By hitting the tab key on my keyboard I was easily able to navigate between the scene description the dialogue and the character names. Overall, I think this is an extremely useful tool that I definitely want to utilize in the future for this project. I am also really interested in the fact that it provided me with the ability to create a storyboard as I think this could also be really useful once we decide what idea we want to portray in our short film.
