Steps and Tips to write a good script
Steps;
1. Get your story straight. Come up with a specific idea of what you
want to happen in the play or movie. Create the premise and purpose of
that story. What are the circumstances and what are the goals of the
story and main characters involved?
2. Your characters will drive the action on the stage or screen, so
make sure you make them interesting and innovative. It may not be
necessary for you to develop all of the characters right away, but
some writers need to have everything set out before they can begin
working. Find your method and work with it.
3. Create an outline or treatment. Before you begin actually writing
dialogue and script, it might help to create a basic roadmap of what
will happen in your story. Sketch out a general plan and envision how
events will unfold. This should be told in the third-person.
4. Maintain your style. 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. Ensure that different characters have their own 'voice' based on
their background, which will affect their word choices and dialect.
This will stop your characters blending into one another.
6. 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.
7. Format your writing. Skip lines between one character speaking and
a different one speaking, especially if you're handwriting it. This
will enable those reading the script to distinguish between speakers
more easily, and also allow space for notes.
8. Edit yourself. Continually revise your writing, and, if possible,
show the script to a friend or adviser who has writing experience and
can critique and improve the script as needed.
Tips:
• When you are ready, you may want to use one of the film industry's
online scouting services, to get your story and screenplay reviewed by
industry executives in a protected platform of exposure.
• Before pitching your screenplay, you'll want to get electronic
proof-of-creation. You can do this online.
• You also may want to invest in some sort of script writing program,
such as Final Draft. These programs format everything for you and all
you have to do is write!
• You may want to attend a scriptwriting class, which will give you
helpful hints on the nuances of writing a full script, especially
things such as plot development, character development, and dialogue.
• If you would like to have your script performed on stage or screen,
you will need to contact an agent who can help you send it to the
necessary people (producers and directors). It is often a long and
arduous process to get a script accepted, so be patient.
• If you think your script has real potential, be sure to get it
copyrighted so no producers can steal it and pass it off as their own.
• Try it with a friend so you can get a new perspective on the story.
They might have some ideas too.

KOLLYWOOD CINEMA HALLS
A visiting European exhibitor first screened a selection of silent
short films at the Victoria Public Hall in Madras. The films all
featured non-fictional subjects; they were mostly photographed records
of day-to-day events.
In Madras the Electric Theatre was established for the screening of
silent films. It was a favourite haunt of the British community in
Madras. The theatre was shut down after a few years. This building is
now part of the Post Office complex in Anna Salai. A Mr. Cohen built
Lyric Theatre in the Mount Road area (now Anna Salai).This venue
boasted a variety of events, including plays in English, Western
classical music concerts, and ballroom dances. Silent films were also
screened as an additional attraction. Samikannu Vincent, an employee
of the South Indian Railways in Trichy, purchased a film projector and
silent films from the Frenchman Du Pont and set up a business as film
exhibitor. He erected tents for screening films. His tent cinema
became popular and he travelled all over the state with his mobile
unit. In later years, he produced talkies and also built a cinema in
Coimbatore.
To celebrate the event of King George V's visit in 1909, a grand
exhibition was organised in Madras. Its major attraction was the
screening of short films accompanied by sound. A British company
imported a Crone megaphone, made up of a film projector to which a
gramophone with a disc containing prerecorded sound was linked, and
both were run in unison, producing picture and sound simultaneously.
However, there was no synched dialogue. Raghupathy Venkiah Naidu, a
successful photographer, took over the equipment after the exhibition
and set up a tent cinema near the Madras High Court. R. Venkiah, flush
with funds, built in 1912 a permanent cinema in the Mount Road area
named Gaiety. It was the first in Madras to screen films on a
full-time basis. This theatre is still functioning, although under
different ownership.
In tent cinemas, there were usually three classes of tickets: the
floor, bench and, chair. The floor-ticket purchaser sat on sand to
watch the movie, but he enjoyed certain advantages that other patrons
did not. He could sit as he pleased, or he could turn over and take a
short nap when the narrative was particularly dull and roll back again
when the action was again to his liking—luxuries in which the upper
class could never indulge.
CHENNAI HALLS :
There are about 2,400 cinema halls in Tamilnadu, which is the main
market for Tamil film industry. Of these around 125 are located in the
