It’s up to the story, and ultimately you. Remember, though, there are no real rules, so they can happen in any order, or not at all. There are a few steps to follow when developing and writing your screenplay. By dedicating yourself to the craft, your screenplays will start out well ahead of the pack.
Most people don’t invest enough time learning how to develop a good screenplay they just try and write one. When you consider that somewhere between 25,000 and 50,000 new screenplays are registered with the WGA every year, it’s easy to see how difficult the task actually is. Unless, of course, you’re planning to finance and produce it yourself.Įach year, the major Hollywood studios purchase a combined 100-200 original screenplays. You’ll have to refine the story, often with several more drafts, get an agent, submit your script to studios and producers, and have someone like it enough to risk a substantial amount of money to buy it.
It takes a serious amount of time and dedication to develop a good screenplay, and if your goal is to sell it, completing a first draft is only the beginning. Writing a screenplay is an extremely rewarding process, but it’s not an easy task.
