Devon Mathis: .

Thanks for the invite to connect! Cheers!

I'm a college student, and so over the summer I've spent my time learning how to write scripts, amongst other things as well. I'm trying to construct a fight scene in the opening of my script, but I don't know if I should choreograph the fight scene inside the script or not. I bought a few books over screenwriting and have taken notes and read them completely. My first book suggested against choreographing fight scenes, and to leave it to the director. How does everyone construct their fight scenes? I'm curious how to begin this.

So I'm writing my first script ever, and I'm working on creating my characters. It's tough work creating believable characters, but SO much fun! However, I'm feeling maybe I'm going a bit overboard on their details? I feel their creation, or bio, should be like creating a human, and knowing every single detail about them. This process is taking quite some time though, and I'm afraid I'm putting in so much focus on creating a great protagonist that I may be wasting time? What does everyone else think? Any suggestions? Opinions?

Hey everyone! My name is Devon Mathis, and I'm new to Stage 32. Screenwriting is a brand new endeavor for me, but I've always been a writer at heart, mostly poetry and short stories. I've spent my summer reading a book on how to screen write, and I'm starting on my first script now! I'm so excited to see this finished through :D
