Note that the sequence is for the actual script, and not necessarily the shooting sequence (since scenes may be shot out of sequence). Each is assigned a number which assists in referencing a section of the script.
However, the program does track each card scene sequentially in the lower-left part of the window (surprisingly called ‘Scenes’). As I mentioned, if you haven’t entered such a heading on the cards, this field will be blank in the script. This appears to actually be called either a screenplay slug line, or a master scene heading. The first section I’ll cover is the scene heading (which had been generated by the index cards). First, in order to work on your masterpiece, you should select the “Script” tab in the tab/menu near the bottom of the working area.Ĭeltx Sample Film Template – Scene Heading(s) circled It was during this stage that I learned a little bit about the different sections of a script (though I may have misused some of them, not having experience along these lines). So, now I actually had something to work with: a basic plot and a rough sequence of the various scenes within the film itself. Still, I’m trying to recall my early experience with it, and will provide such additional information and notes later in this post. I’ve also learned a few other tricks about using Celtx. I should point out at this stage that I am only now resuming this particular post, and my script has undergone several rewrites. This could be useful, but as I say I haven’t done anything with that option. An added benefit (which I didn’t take advantage of, and have only played with a bit so I really don’t know how it might function) is that you can view either side of the cards, with the opposite side allowing for notes.
A nice thing about the index cards is that each actually generates a scene heading(discussed in a little bit) in the script (though it’s blank if you don’t actually enter anything on the index card). To access the index cards (as well as the script, reports and other options) there’s a tab/menu along the bottom of the main working area. However, it did have sample templates for a film, novel, audio play and other types.Ĭeltx Sample Film Template – Index Cards (Script Side) – Circled tab ‘flips’ cards to Notes Side Firing it up, I was faced with a program that had no standard help file or manual.

So, having totally forgotten that it was already installed, I immediately downloaded yet another copy of it, and while attempting to install it discovered that it was already available. I also mentioned to a friend what I was trying to do, and he recommended that I use that Celtx program. In the meantime, I’d finally decided to start gathering notes for “the great American screenplay.” I did that in the quickest way I knew how: creating a text file and typing random thoughts. I quickly downloaded and installed it, then it sat on my computer for months.

Such was the case when a friend posted a link to a free screenwriting program – a desktop version of Celtx, fully functional (apparently) except for sharing capability (side-note: that link no longer leads to the free desktop version).

Do I even need this? Will I ever even use this?,” I find myself frantically searching for the download button/link.

I’ll see an article or a post mentioning some free version of bean-counting software (or whatever), and the only thing that my brain processes is the word ‘free.’ My brain then takes control of my mouse-hand and before I can say “Wait. I had mentioned the idea to a couple of friends, and they’ve been telling me to “write it up.” So, I finally said the heck with it, and actually started to (paraphrasing a friend’s response to my initial draft): CREATE. Since that time we still joked around about it. Thus the title of this post, referring to Roger Corman – perhaps most famous for filming The Little Shop of Horrors (1960) in two (2) days.Ī few years ago, a co-worker and myself came up with a concept for a film. Which at least is more than I had two days ago. Today, two days after starting, I finished writing my first script. I’ve just now dug it up from my draft archives Note: this was actually written a few months ago.
