Scriptnotes talks on how to write a movie transcript

Today’s episode of scriptnotes that I watched talked about how to write a movie transcript. I think that this is the same as a script except it’s just the dialogue. Craig Maizin was the only person on the show since John was on vacation and they had no guest. That’s fine with me. He says that most transcripts are looked at the wrong way by just analyzing it instead of actually doing the symptom which is structure. Structure is key according to him because it really builds up a key format to help you find the dialogue the way it is. He also says that “real writers follow their characters.” I think this is good advice because it helps you realize the dialogue more carefully and can also become one with the characters. It helps make their dialogue more better and much more carefully structured. It also makes you realize the why what where and how of the plot of these characters as well. You also want to put yourself in the characters place as well and figure out what would you do if this was you or what would you think about this? This way it can really help you understand the plot much better.
