Freelance Scriptwriter

Writing for film is a unique skill, whether you categorise it as an art or a craft. The mantra - show don't tell - is the guide to which every scriptwriter should work, no matter what the project. Every word should be loaded with depth and intensity of meaning.

Freelance Scriptwriter - TV Advertising

Getting a powerful message over in a 30 second film - I hate cliches but how else can you say it - less is more.
Research, research, research.
Write the message.
Edit, cut, rewrite, pump up the emotion, edit, cut, rewrite, edit, cut, rewrite, it's done - no it's not - I'll just rewrite it again - the difficult part is to know when to stop!

Freelance Scriptwriter - Corporate Video

Who are we talking to? What do we want to say? What do we need to say?
Keep it direct, keep it focused, keep it concise - this is film, not prose!
Corporate video should tell the story to the target audience.
It's encapsulated in those first three sentences - Who are we talking to? What do we want to say? What do we need to say?

Freelance Scriptwriter - Documentary

Understand the project, let's do some research, read around the subject, talk to people, let's find out some more, find the questions that need answering, find the subjects to interview, shoot the interviews, back to the script, select the sound bites that say it all, do we need to get creative with links and voiceover, a captivating intro, let's wrap it up - cut the cliches, cut the crap - I love writing documentary scripts - give me a call.

Freelance Scriptwriting & Alan Howarth

My scripts contain detail that some may consider intrusive into the final interpretation. I'm not being overly prescriptive. However, as I often write for clients where the production team is often still to be commissioned, I aim for a script that allows clients with no previous film making experience the opportunity to easily interpret the script visually
