Remember, then, that you’re a screenwriter – someone who writes for the screen. Someone who tells stories through a visual medium. When you’re developing your story’s structure or writing one of your screenplay’s scenes, try and see it first – try and visualise the character and the story, and then work out if, together, you can use them to visualise the emotion you’re trying to convey. You might think about plot first, and how you can show your character trying to achieve something. You might then think about character traits, and how you can use action and gesture to represent their personality and drive. But then you should think about symbolism, and how valued objects and motifs can add visual and emotional texture to the story you’re telling. Writing visually is about externalising and internalising – it’s about showing us the surface, and also using the surface to show us what lies beneath, emotionally and thematically.
