Almost all screenwriters and filmmakers use popular computer programs to write their screenplays.

Do not spare funds for purchasing software. A properly formatted script is much more difficult to write without using a special program.

The following programs are good:

  • Final Draft is a very popular, powerful and functional program,
  • Movie Magic Screenwriter – Also a great option for professionals,
  • Celtx is a free, very decent alternative
  • Clerk – plugin for Microsoft Word, only for formatting and markup
  • Scenewriter Pro, Dramatica, Movie Outline, Scrivener, Montage, Scripped, etc.

If your script is not properly formatted, it will create a sense of amateurishness in the eyes of all stakeholders – financiers, actors, employees.

Final Draft and Movie Magic are both very common in the film industry. These are decent, powerful applications and are used by most professional screenwriters.

Having chosen the right tool, we will learn how to write scripts, including examples of the best script works.
