Did you check out the first page of your script recently? The first page is the first thing the reader will see when you open your text, and many times problems arise quickly and you return the story before it starts. I have opened tens of thousands of articles and writers can be shocked by what happens over and over again on the first page.
The good news is that you can fix things right now!

How much dialogue is on your front page? Visual action is a very effective way to introduce a reader to your world.
When a reader starts a text, he knows nothing and wants to read. Start your text with descriptions of what the audience will see on screen. Describe the people who do things, not say things, as this is an effective way to give them context, history, character, and environment - - right from the start.
Are there any good texts that open the conversation? Yes. But learn how to get started with animated images before you break the rules.
No Images
If you describe the pictures on the character's family wall, their degrees from college to show how smart they are, or a television set with a reporter talking about a microphone, consider using the actions and names of your characters to bring the background story. and representation in place.
Pointing the camera to another still image or stream is not cinematic. Do we see this regularly in movies and television programs? Yes. Are you lazy? Definitely.
If you have captions for pictures or TV news on the home page, unfortunately you are sending a weak signal to the reader. Is there a different and solid way to tell your story?
Tattoos
Authors often define the most obvious visual cues on a character's body, such as a tattoo or a scar, which we will need to remember later to understand the transformation of a larger structure or the resolution of a conflict. Many times this comes almost immediately in the script. This will require a very close shot of the human neck or leg. If the audience or student misses this information, they will not understand the story.
Do not put all the chips in one image that we must remember in every script. Weak writing. Force your audience on characters and their choices, not "blink and miss" the structure of the building.
In the morning
When you start your text with a rising character (usually with alarms), this tells us that you do not know how to start your story.
Always start your script without anyone waking up. Thank you.
Shoes
Writers often introduce a character by describing the shoes or feet of the character walking in the story. How many times do you remember seeing the actor's feet in front of his face in a movie? How often does this happen in real life? Certainly not.
Check your text for foot and footer presentations.
Words
Always short words. Start with a few words on the front page. Give your text aired. Leave plenty of white space on the first page and throughout. When the reader sees the writing blocks on the front page, he hears the draft early. Pro texts always use empty space to engage the mind and heart of the reader.
See how many words you can delete while telling the same story. Take this seriously.
Letters
How many letters appear on the front page? If your student has just started your text, let him or her compose a very small number of letters. Maybe just one. The texts that introduce a few people on the first page are confusing and confusing.
We begin emotional relationships with the people in your story. Give us space and time to establish communication in a healthy, vibrant way. Speed up your character entries in your script and avoid rushing out of them immediately.
Story
Authors are often told to include the audience in the first five pages, etc. This pushes the writers to hasten their story in the first few moments of their writing. Students see an effort to get involved and often feel confused about what is happening. Clarity suffers. Emotions are suppressed by a plot.
Show patience on the first page. Do not enter anything. Speak the truth in a balanced way and let the student have an interest. If you take your time and respect their wisdom, they will do it.
***
Editing the home page is very important - - doing on each page of your script is something else. But that is the view of every writer: to make every page force the reader forward. Compulsory texts have great power, and can make everything happen. Be patient, diligent, and careful in your work and one day your work will completely separate itself from all the other text in the pile.
Oh yes, and do not mention the sun or the sky at the beginning of your text.
