Okay, so I have basically just used my outline to write the script. I have never written a script before, or seen what one looks like. So, I searched for some sample scripts and found some that are pretty straightforward to follow the format. The image below was the formatting that I used when writing the script. I found this on a website online here.
To be honest, when I started writing the script I cringed at the dialogue. For instance, there were some scenes that I feel like no one my age would realistically say with a straight face. I think that is a sign that I should change some things. I know I have to keep in mind that part of a rom-com is that cliché/cringy aspect, but I just am not sure if I am happy with how my script turned out. Furthermore, when I showed my group members, they were on the same page as me. We are planning on just scratching our outline and starting over fresh since the one we have right now is not working out. This is a little frustrating, but I think I just have to be confident and organize myself well so we get a lot done next week when we regroup. I am planning on researching more scriptwriting since my first attempt made me realize that I am not the best at writing dialogue that is realistic. Hopefully, when I start researching, I can practice more and be able to develop a well-written script for the new outline we have in mind. I also think I am going to watch a couple rom-coms over the weekend to get my creative juices flowing and think of a new outline for our film opening. Anyway, I attached by first attempt at the script below. Remember it is not the best as it was my first try, and we are not using it. (I could not emphasize this enough)
