As a scriptwriter you can never read too many scripts. Think of reading scripts as your study time, with your scriptwriting as your actual work. The more film scripts you read the better the influences you can draw on.
Here I’ve tried to pluck a script from every genre of film. If you are writing a script on a specific genre, it’s helpful to read through other scripts in that genre to see how the story was structured and how the characters were bought to life.
All these sample scripts are for educational purposes only and not to be resold. Check out the sample film scripts bellow…
