here are a few phrases to remember when writing a script:

Show don’t tell
This is extremely important. Telling and explaining things via dialogue or actions can seem like a good idea at the time, but do not do it! It will appear very amateurish. Instead use the stage directions or camera shots to help the director know what you are trying to imply.

Actions speak louder than words
If you have an option to use a stage direction or use dialogue, more often than not try to use actions over words. This famous phrase exists for a reason. Think of different camera angles and different ways of expressing things without using speech. A good tip is to also keep these actions quite subtle.

Write what you know
You might want to write about a life in this Israeli army, but unless you have experience or a lot of time for extensive research, stick to writing what you know or can immediately find out a LOT of information on. If you write a script where the details are just plain wrong, nobody will be interested in it at all.

Don’t give up and start a new script
So many people i know will have an amazing idea, start and attack at full force to then think ‘ah no it’s not very good I’ll think of something else’, this is extremely common and one of the major hurdles to overcome. But take a step back, do some brainstorming and create a plan of what’s going to happen over the next few pages and get through it. It can be hard, but that is the life of writing scripts. Good luck!
