1. IDEAS
Bash ideas around, and write down the best ideas.
Even if you have a clear picture of what is required,
Write it down and think it through.

The idea is the skeleton which you will "flesh out"

2. PLOT Develop the idea into a string of actions.
This leads you into making a scene list or story board.
The plot is the map guiding you through from beginning to end.

3. TEXT and ACTION.
Write a plan for every scene.
Split a page into 2 vertical halves
On one side write out the text
On the other describe the action.

Outlaw stunts. Safety has to be planned.

PLAN PLAN PLAN
