What is film script writing?

A (film) script is a series of pages written in a tight format that tells a story. A script is used by all the people involved in making a film to tell the story using film as a medium.

  • Directors (to direct the shoot and the post-production tasks)

  • Costume, makeup, set decoration teams (to put together accessories for the film)
  • Sound team (to supplement the story with sound effects)
  • Casting, production design, art direction, visual and special effects teams
  • Post-production teams, music teams

How do you write a script for a car race?

Generally, when you write a car race scene -- or series of scenes -- in a film, what's important is the underlying plot point that moves the story forward. Examples are:

  • Protagonist wins
  • Antagonist wins
  • Prize auto is destroyed/ survives
  • One car rolls over the body
  • One driver catches his cuff in the door knob

...and so forth.

Then, you leave the filming of the race up to the director and producer who will pay for and direct the scene. Often it's money that is the key determinant in the race action actually shows up on the screen.

Otherwise, if you're writing a story about the race, and the story isn't about anything else, you'll write a classic three-act structure with a nifty plot and sub-plots.
