Screenplays by Steven St John

Introduction:

This website is dedicated to give you an idea how  screenplays are made. As I explained in my youtube video, I began to watch movies and at the same time read scripts to get a better understanding how movies are produced. When you do both, you get to see the details of how the various scenes are set up combined with how the dialogue of each character is portrayed. Added to this and most importantly, is the developement of the story or how the plot is developed by the various elements that make a movie.

There are three acts, 1st act is the introduction of the characters of who they are by developing what the main characters goals are and how all of the other characters are involved one way or another.  2nd act is the "conflict" meaning the struggle that the main character goes through in order to achieve the intended goal. Finally, the 3rd act is the "resolution". In other words, the main character reaches the intended goal and how the conflict is resolved in a positive way or by making a statemtent.
