What's your first script? Also post how you did the format. This is mine:

My first script was: "A New Start"

My format was like this:

OPEN UP:

We fade in on an open field, we cut to a lake seeing frogs and snakes. Ben walks in front of our camera

Hey John!



That's how mine went, noy others can post theirs like this.

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.

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.

Mine was The Video House and it won a Walter Award. Never forget the Walters!

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 that I completed was Good Try We Don't Like it, which is being made into a film.

My first attempt was a script I wrote in 7th grade with my brother which was called "The Woman in White"

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.

Quoted from The boy who could fly 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.

Quoted from Steve-Dave That sounds like it would be pretty funny. You should post it.

I don't know how it would do here, there are scenes that are very "cabin" like.  I was 13 when I wrote it.  It's just basically Oscar the grouch molests Elmo, then all of sesame street gang burns him alive in his garbage can and he comes back and kills each muppet in disgusting ways.

Sounds funny, you should post it. I don't think bert will get mad at you.

It couldn't be any worse than this, could it?

ummmm...LOL, ya, it's a lot worse.  Just think of the "famous" scene of the cabin, and you can kinda get a tiny idea what happens.

Quoted from ALIEN MAN Bert, that poster I've seen it before on a website.

Um...yeah.  Me, too.  It's right there on the poster.  Upper-right.

So what's your point?

That's a rhetorical question, A.M. (Look it up before you respond).

I'd pay a dollar to read about Guy Smiley's ass shining in the moonlight.

Anyway, back on topic.  The first script I wrote was called "The Odds of Love".  It used to be on this site, but I had to have it removed.

The format?  Abosultely terrible.  Completely out of structure, and it was written on a laptop from circa 1988.  What really threw me off was that I knew a script was supposed to be between 90-120 pages, and I did come in at about 100 or so, but had it been formatted correctly, it would have been about 200.

I still apologize to Martin, Greg, and anyone else who read that version, even though I think it's a good story.  Wait, I mean WAS a good story.  You should see what it looks like now......Whoa Nelly!

I think I provided Bert with the link to that picture. But that's just me boasting.

Boywhocouldfly, your Nightmare on Sesame Street sounds incredibly clever. The correlation you gave works well. I did a spoof on the Matrix once called The Sesamatrix. I never really finished it up, but it was amusing for awhile.

Can we get some grammar lessons for the original poster?

The first script "I have ever wrote" was a comedy about a stolen ice cream van.

The first script I've written was a zombie script (you should've guessed, huh?) and it was called "Dead and Walking" but has no relation whatsoever to the one I have on this site.

My format was horrible, partially because I wrote it on a blog I had a few years ago and it was like this:

SO-AND-SO
Oh my gosh! What are those things!

WHAT'S HER FACE
I don't know, but it won't die!

SO-AND-SO and WHAT'S HER FACE run away.

P.S>Those weren't the actual characters names, or else I would be copying Teen Girl Squad.

The first script I wrote was a script called 'Killer Hotel' and it wasn't much of a story. Every hotel guest was killed off and the ending was just the hotel manager getting killed off. Never posted it.

I remember my first script like it was yesterday.  In fact, I don't even really know why I decided to write a script.  I knew nothing about screenwriting or story telling....and obviously format.  It was a super hero script called "Flame" who was basically a Batman and Daredevil ripoff, but I felt it was the most amazing piece of fiction ever written.

It was only 45 pages long and I thought it was a full length script.

A power surge caused me to lose that masterpiece forever.  Haha!  I kind of wish I still had it so I could have a good laugh at myself every now and then.

The first script I ever wrote was when I was 12-13. It was a Horror called Offspring. It was a complete piece of crap (93 pgs. long and badly formatted too), so I shredded it. I stopped writing for a little while after that (except for some poetry here and there).

Now I'm fifteen and I've currently been working on a new screenplay, but Writer's block is hitting me hard in the ass and it has taken me almost half a year to finish it, and I'm still only half-way through! I thought when I found this site a while ago that I would be finished and post it here quickly, but I guess I was wrong. It will be sometime I think before I post a script here.
