Material Outline

A. Performance Concept of Drama


B. Process of A Script to be A Play
1. How to write a script to be a play
A play script is a written text including elements in a play that use to direct a
certain play performing in front of the audience. There are core elements available
here: title, playwright, list of characters, casts, act, scene, setting, stage directions,
and dialogues.
In writing a script to be a play, we need to pay attention to the elements of the
script itself. Those elements are to each other to construct a good script that has
ready to be played right before the audience.
a. Step 1 – Create a Logline & Develop Your Characters
A great start in writing your own script is making a logline (one or two
sentences that sum up your story with the character. Next, develop your characters by
writing their backstories and refining their personalities based on the story. Especially
for the personalities, the writer or the author of the script can develop it, but make
sure that the characters should have a goals that they need to achieve or must
authentic or not seems fake, naturally fit in with the character and the cast. (means
that the character’s personalities should related with the story and can flow up until
the end of the story).
b. Step 2 – Write an Outline
An outline is a concise synopsis of each chapter in the story. Think of the
outline as the ‘definition’ of your script that breaks down the movement of the story,
plot point by plot point. This is where you should begin to think about structure.
There are three things need to be emphasized in making an outline. First, the outline
should introduce the character, setting and the incident that will flow the story.
Second, write in what chapter the crisis is coming up or where the character encounter
obstacles. Third, the outline should provide the situation where climax push up, then
continue by slows down and resolves itself. he 2nd act is where your character
encounter obstacles as the story escalates into a crisis.
Then, continue by making the synopsis that sum up all of the story. The
recommended pages for this only around 2-3 pages. This is to attract the publisher and
editor find interest in our script.
c. Step 3 – Write a Treatment
Treatments are effectively a more in-depth version of your outline. Expand it
and write your whole story scene by scene in a conventional manuscript style.
Experiment with dialog, or at least make note of what you want your characters to
say. Develop your settings and have fun with descriptions. In this stage, you need to
consider the setting. Each scene has different setting based on the situation face by the
characters. Usually, the scene setting explain at the first, then continue by the scene
and what kind of dialogue that will suit in.
d. Step 4 – Write Your Script
After developing the character, structured plot and inspired treatment, let us
move to the writing session. The writer should understand the formatting. Write in
the present tense. Brevity is your friend. Remember to show, not tell: you’re
writing for the eyes and the ears. After you finish in making a script, revise it
again and again. Ask others expert to criticize your work for getting better.

C. Familiarize Yourself With Scriptwriting Language


1. Scene heading: abbreviations usually use. This heading signifies the beginning of
every scene and is placed at the very top of each in ALL CAPS. It will either say:
“EXT.” or “INT.” These abbreviations are simply short for “exterior” and
“interior” to describe the location of the action in your scene. For example, “INT.
KITCHEN – NIGHT” or “EXT. GARDEN – DAY”
2. Action Descriptions: This is one of the easiest terms to pick up and start using.
Action lines are describing the action of your characters in any scene.
3. Characters. Who play role in the story. When introducing characters for the first
time within an action description, capitalize their name and include 10 or so words
that describe their main attributes. When they speak, their character name is
centered on the page with their dialogue immediately following.
4. Dialogue. Things should be spoken by the characters. Need to be authentic as they
are real people. This goes in the center of the page beneath the name of the
character speaking. To make your dialogue as authentic as possible, focus on
understanding your characters as if they were real people
5. Parenthetical: A parenthetical is one of the ways scriptwriters can add
performance or action details related to lines of dialogue. These provide helpful
texture but make sure to use these sparingly. For example, (sadly), (emphatically),
or (excitedly) would go before a character’s line of dialogue, as could (scrunches
nose), (scoffs), or (points).
6. Not using inverted commas: The inverted commas (“ “) is useless here. By not
using this mark, it will avoid the cast misread the script.
7. Narrator :Usually appear in the first part before the dialogue is setting. Narrator
will narrate what kind of situation that happen next or before the dialogue begin
8. Playwright: author of the play script.
