De la idea al guion – ¿Qué es un cortometraje y cómo escribir uno? * Video Tutorial *

The video tutorial by Diego Blanco, a film director and producer, explains how to go from a simple idea to a short film script. He defines a short film as lasting between two and thirty minutes, focusing on simplicity, few characters, and an attractive plot. The process involves brainstorming topics like loneliness, love, or pain, and developing elements such as characters, context, mission, conflict, and resolution. The methodology includes using software like Celtx for writing the script, following a structure with scenes, actions, emotions, and dialogues, and structuring the script into three acts with two turning points. By following these steps, one can effectively write a short film script.

Methodology

• Start by brainstorming specific topics for the short film.
• Develop characters with names, emotions, and experiences.
• Establish the context by placing characters in specific locations.
• Define the mission, conflict, and resolution for the main character.
• Use software like Celtx to write the script with scenes, actions, emotions, and dialogues.
