I’ve recently returned from a holiday in India, I love to read the Indian newspapers and in the Deccan Chronicle Chennai about a scriptwriting career. It is currently a fast growing career within India.  

I found the article really interesting; it explained that there are 3 elements to scriptwriting – story, screenplay and dialogue. The story is the basis of the script, and the screenplay is the visualisation of every shot. Then the dialogue is created.   This article recognised it’s a competitive industry, and said it’s a good idea to start at a director, which is also highly competitive? 

So I did a search for UK sources of help and if this interests you it would be worth looking at some of the resources on line such as this one from Careers Scotland.   There are many links on the net offering courses, but I do think you need to be careful, there are many people and companies out there only too happy to take your money, so search carefully and let me know of any good resources.  This may be a good place to start – The Scriptwriters Network.
