We dont measure, judge or quantify

 1. Start with the world, and then find out who is most affected by that world.

The girl is traded Bilal is a nothing compared to men like jayant The cop has to turn a blind eye to every day injustice .The beggers pick the dirt The cops uphold the rich, but the world is turning.

2. What is the tone

3. What are you trying to say ( not necessarily the plot) and every line and every scene should move that forward

4. Find visual ways to say dialogue, the power of the image

Write for Yourself

“I always write the movie that I want to go see, and just assume someone else will want to go see it, too. It’s got to be saying what you want to say the way you want to say it.

“I think to be a really good screenwriter, you have to be selfish, you have to write just for you. You’ll be your toughest critic, but trying to guess what someone else is going to like or want, that’s such a moving target. You’ll find yourself trying to write something that’s false.

“Constantly remind yourself to write what you’d want to see and that you can’t waste a word.”

Keep Your Audience Thinking Ahead

 ‘Write the movie you’d pay to go see.’ Another is ‘Never let a character tell me something that the camera can show me.’ Then there’s ‘You always want the audience wondering what’s going to happen next, never what’s happening.’

Know Where You’re Going

“You gotta know how it ends. You don’t have to know exactly the mechanics of the journey but you have to understand the journey of the hero –like how is he or she different? What does it cost them, what do they gain? And then what are you trying to say? The movies that move me the most don’t tell me what to think but ask a lot of questions. I’ve sat down a lot of times with a great idea and somewhere around the middle of the second act, the well runs dry and you realize you didn’t know where you were going. And I’ve got 10 of those sitting on my desk. Every now and then you have an idea that answers the whole thing. But yeah, for me, I gotta know where I’m going.

Listen to Your Story

“When you start writing a screenplay, you have very general awarenesses and ideas and themes that you want to try and explore. And then I think you have to be pretty malleable because the story is going to start telling itself and telling you that there are other things in there that you should look at. And other arcs and other things. You have to kind of ride with it. For me, if I’m really struggling with a scene and writing three scenes to justify this one thing, I know that I’m not listening to the story. There is a story that wants to be told and if you listen, it tells itself very easily.”

Find the More Interesting Route

“I’ll give you some advice from the actor in me: actors are allergic to scenes where they have to say ‘yes,’ ‘no,’ ‘hello,’ or ‘goodbye.’ I’m allergic to those scenes. I was as an actor. I am as a writer. There’s always a more interesting way to do the things we do all the time without thinking about them. If you’re bothering to write a script, think about them.”

Steven Spielberg once said that dreams are never screaming at you in the face. It's always the whispers that are telling the true tale of what you should or shouldn't be doing. Listen.

When you stop and just decide to write the script as if none of those things matter — as if the script is never going to be produced — it frees you from so many of those chains. Chains that have no applicable purpose anyway because every situation, every script, every development process, every journey, and every production is different.

Don't be afraid to write the story you want to write. Don't be afraid to write it how you want it to be written. Forget all of the things that are out of your control — and don't even exist yet — and just tell your story.
