Write a great script quicker using index cards.

You can finish your first draft of your screenplay quicker by using index cards. And you'll end up with a much better first draft of your script too! Many writers use index cards as part of their process. I'll show you how you can effectively incorporate index cards into your writing workflow, so you'll be a more efficient quality screenwriter.

I believe this method of using index cards was inspired by one of Blake Snyder's books on screenwriting.

This is my first video on YouTube - more to come!

I have watched a number of videos on the index card method. None of them covered details about the scene, that you put on each index card. This was very helpful for me, as I am about to plot a new story but haven't tried the index card method before.

Man, I've been looking for some guidance on how to structure a script with index and this was the best and most concise explanation.

Don't dissapear bro. Keep breaking down each and every single aspect of scrip writing and tools.

I’m actually in the process of writing two screenplays. I’ve been writing in my personal time for a while, but I was never organized. I would just try to wing it as I wrote. Now that I’ve watched your videos, you’ve given me new confidence on how to organize and structure my films

Wow, I’ve done a hundred writing workshops, watched a thousand writing videos, and have an English degree, but I’ve never heard the idea that you should alternate positive to negative scenes with negative to positive scenes. I need to think about this and analyze my stuff. This could be a game changer. Thanks!

Final Draft now has a feature where you can do cards on your computer, it's a great asset to learn

This helped out a lot when I was working on my first screenplay!!!!

[malayalamwriter]

It was useful. I am planning to write some nonfiction books using note cards

[BenjaminRowlandTV]

This video continues to be very relevant!

[sunnygodiva]

I'm just starting out. This was super helpful.
Thanks

Holy shit. I might plot my novel's scene out like this.

[danieljackson]

Excellent video. Thank you. More please.

I was thinking on using only 40. 10 for act 1, 10 for act 2 (a), 10 for act 2 (b) and last 10 cards for act 3

[ServantStatusMinistries]

Hmm this reminds me of the gingko writing app. Thank you for this video!

[DanielL.Phillips]

Very very good.. What about Final Draft Indexing and Beat board?

[dragonchr]

When i heard the +/- thing, I said, must have read McKee's book....unless it is somewhere else I am unaware of...lol

Try not looking at yourself in the camera. Look at the camera lense. It makes you look weird.. like “who’s he talking too?”that’s what I’m thinking. Hard to watch . So I’m rewinding it and not going to look
