My first script I wrote in 1977, but formated correctly was the short STILL AND SMILLING (was The Holidays). I was in a course of screenwriting at Birkbeck College of the University of London in 1997.
The first script I ever wrote...oh that's a tough one. Not really I'm still writing it. Infact I had a bit of writers block so started another one, so as to keep writing, and guess what...I haven't finished that yet either. Good job I'm not working to a deadline. lol.
Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.
The first script I ever wrote was, in terms of story, horrible. It was only five pages long and was for a Christian film festival I wanted to make a film for. I formatted everything correctly, though. I've never had any real trouble with the format thing. It's called "In the Blink of an Eye" and is posted in the short section...
The first script i ever wrote was a horror called Slasher. It wasnt formatted correctly as it was my first script and i didnt know what i was doing. It was 14 pages. I was only 16 when i wrote it.
I only wrote it it cos i liked movies. I wasnt even interested in scriptwriting but the more i wrote, The more i enjoyed it and now i love to write scripts and im currently on the 7th instalment of Slasher.
I think this subject has been discussed before, but I'll bite. For me, the first "script" was a musical that was written between 1993 and 1997. I completed it with a partner then, but it had a ton of missing backstory.
My first short formatted for the screen was written in 1999 (I think), and was called A Perfect Plan. I have it posted under shorts with a minor tweak to have a teaser for a specific project.
My first screenplay was in 2001 and was called Vengeance. It's a slasher/thriller type film, and in its umpteenth rewrite. You can find it under Horror.
The screenplay that took me the longest to write was Fempiror Chronicles: Initiation of David. I conceived of it in 1996 and wrote about 3 or 4 outlines for it, continually changing the plot and backstory until it became what I liked. I finished the first draft in 2004.
The first script I ever wrote was Kiss of the Locust in the summer of last year. It wasn't, and still isn't, perfect but it's in proper format and I did try to do something new with the zombie genre.
When I was sixteen, I dabbled in fan fiction for a little while but could never will myself to finish one. Nevertheless, I don't think I ever attempted to write a screenplay without already knowing the format.
The first script I wrote was a 63 page travesty called Resident Evil: Desistance. Haha, I'm laughing at the mere thought of it. I wrote it in Notepad with no concept of running time and actually thought it was a full-length script.
I used the phrase "we see" every freakin sentence damn near and had a lot of unneccessary subtext. And it still came out to 63 pages! Haha.
I think I have come a bit further from that pont now, however.
The first full script I wrote was called The Twin. It was a murder mystery. A set of twins, one good, one bad, get in an argument one night while their parents are out. One twin kills the other accidentally. Then, on the one year anniversary, all the dead twin's friends start turning up dead. I wanted to write a story where the killer was obvious from the get go while playing on the fact that most of the time when you see a whodunnit, you automatically write off the most obvious character because it's NEVER the most obvious character. In my script, the bad twin did indeed kill the good twin and it's obvious. But he pretended to be the good twin and after a while, he slowly started acting like himself.
It was horrible, as you can probably tell. My next one, a black comedy about a murderous chiropractor, wasn't much better.
My first script was written 27 years ago (my gosh...) The title was "Clair's Child" and was the story of a young woman who had abortion several years before and was facing her "baby". I recall the formatting was awful but it was 80 pages long. Thanks to it, I found an agent in France with it but never made a hit.
Mine was technically "SILO" but the 1st one I ever finished was "GRUFF"... Love both of these story's, by the way.
"SILO" was way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way, before SAW ever thought of coming out. I wrote that back in 98, probably. Though SAW was just a rip off of Torso anyways... that's nothing new.
"SILO" was pretty good, even back then. I've since went back and changed the name to "HOURGLASS" and re-wrote the story, though. Same concept, just worlds better.
"GRUFF" has always been the same. Just updated the dialogue a bit recently and made a change of some of the points of action in it.
My first script was called A nightmare on Sesame Street. I have been tempted to post it, but I know BERT would hate me considering the Bert & Ernie scene.

That sounds like it would be pretty funny. You should post it.
My first script was What Is "Normal"? and it's posted on this site. The first draft was in between a shooting and spec script. But I've rewritten it twice since I first finished writting it in December of last year. Oddly, even though it was my first, I think it's probably my best, even though it's very long.
