How to Write Scripts That Grab Readers on the First Page: Writing Scripts with a Compelling First Page

In a new video, Michael Rogan of ScriptBully magazine shares his best strategies for learning how to write scripts that have an almost addictive page one.

 

San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/20/2015 -- Learning how to write scripts for film production isn't just about plotting, dialogue and characterization. At its most basic, it's about grabbing a reader from the first page...and never letting go.

Which is why, Michael Rogan of ScriptBully magazine, has released a new video, "How to Write Scripts With a Kick-Ass Page One," to help the would-be screenwriter capture the interest of a screenplay reader - and eventual movie viewer - from the very beginning of the story.

"When I was a script reader, I was shocked at how many screenplays had kind of 'blah' first pages," said Rogan. "That's the #1 job you have as a screenwriter. Grab 'em right away - and take them on the ride of their lives."

In the video, Rogan offers strategies BOTH unorthodox - "Don't start off with your best dialogue" - and immminently practical - "Think like a camera, start with a long shot and move in."

And his goal is to give screenwriters some instantly useable techniques they can use to improve their screenplay instantly. (And that includes from the very first page.)
