Developing the script

You are now going to learn how to develop the script.

Captain: (loudly) Reverse the engines now or the storm will drive us onto the rocks!

Crew member: (in panic) She’s not responding! The waves are swamping the deck. We’re going to sink if you don’t do something!

Characters must respond to each other.

In the storm at sea example, a crew member could reply to the captain.

Here is how it would look on the page.

How has this example script developed from the original?

How could we extend the script?
