I have a script… kind of lol. It’s less like a script and more like me just writing paragraphs upon paragraphs- more like a really badly written story in my own words on a google doc that I then translate over to visual form. But I also have an entire other google doc with the main point points listed out in chronological order and important events, that when when i’m writing my “script” I know where I need to take the story and dialogue.
As you can very obviously see, it’s nothing like an actual script. It’s full of grammar issues, slang, typos, and emoticons lol. Basically whatever helps me visualize the scene I have in my head better through text. Some dialogue or part described don’t always make it over to the finished version on the comic. I could write it like an actual script, but this is just so much more fun to me.
In the end, this is what that paragraph translated into-
I don’t really think there’s a right or wrong way to script (unless you’re doing it professionally of course), and I don’t think a script is even necessary, though they’re extremely helpful, especially for larger, plot heavier stories. Whatever helps you convey your story how you imagine it is the best way to do it. For some people it’s a regular script, or just a few bullet points, or an entire story that they’re translating into a comic. Whatever works
