Making movies for the first time can be daunting – but it doesn’t have to be. Learn about how Celtx helps first time filmmakers understand the nuances of pre-production.

Breaking down your script is the essential and exhaustive first step in your pre-production process. In this installment of the Learning Series, we’ll run you through what you’ll need to do – and how Celtx makes it easy.

At last, it’s time to take all of your story development and outlining work and turn it into that elusive, seemingly impossible goal: a completed first draft of an original script. In this Learning Series lesson, we’ll show you how.

Planning out your plot will make writing your script a lot easier. In Lesson #4, we’ll guide you through creating a thorough Script Outline – and show you how Celtx can speed up the process dramatically.

Your characters are the most important aspect of your script. For them to be engaging and believable, you’ll have to spend some time with them before going to the page. In Lesson #3 of the Learning Series, we’ll show you how to develop your characters by asking them questions.

What is your story going to say? How is it going to say it? In Lesson #2, you’ll learn how to ground your script by defining your dramatic targets.
