Learn how to write a story for a movie with these steps.
You should gather everything you will need to write this story. You should get pens, pencils, paper, erasers and a pencil sharpener.
You should sit back and let your imagination run wild. You should imagine what you want the story to be like. There are many ways to gather ideas for a story, be it inspiration from your life, the world around you, or the works of other film makers but it is important you think outside the box and try to bring something new to the world. Try your best to come up with an idea that you and others would enjoy, ensuring that is worth all the effort writing the script will entail.
You have to make a decision and decide what kind of story you want to write. If the plot to the movie is given to you already then build upon that.
What if I show my drafts to people and they laugh at my efforts?
If it's supposed to be a comedy, be proud, but if not, be brave and take note of why they are laughing. Make sure that the people you show your drafts to are willing to offer sincere feedback so you do not get involved with someone who wants to mock you instead of help you.

I have experienced so many things in my life, and I feel that I can bring something very new and fresh to the people. I am willing to write a story, but I don't know from where I should start, any suggestions?
- All the President's Men (1976) Film. Drama. Wait, you’re telling us Watergate is an actual thing that happened, and in 1974 two reporters really did take down a sitting US president?
- In Cold Blood (1967) Film. Before true crime podcasts and Dateline NBC marathons, there was Truman Capote, whose account of the 1959 massacre of a family in rural Kansas shocked a nation not yet desensitised to random acts of unspeakable violence.
- Hustlers (2019) Film. Drama. A rare depiction of a r ecession that’s neither a teary drama about farmers losing their homes nor a political screed against greedy one-percenters, Hustlers is instead a hyperkinetic story of economic survival, set in a world hit particularly hard by the 2008 financial crisis: New York strip clubs.
- Argo (2012) Film. Drama. It’s one of those stories too far-fetched for even the most inventive screenwriter to make up. At the onset of the 1979 Iranian Revolution, a movie-loving CIA agent hatched a plot to smuggle six diplomats out of the country by pretending to be a Canadian film crew shooting a fake Star Wars-alike sci-fi flick there.
- Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) The most electrifying, fully realized cinematic take on an August Wilson play to date, George C. Wolfe‘s 1927 Chicago-set drama depicts a fateful recording session of the “Mother of Blues” and her band.
- Schindler’s List (1993) At once one of the most harrowing movies you’ll ever see—and one of the most inspiring. Steven Spielberg’s period piece stars Liam Neeson as the titular real-life merchant-turned-wartime-hero.
- Just Mercy (2019) Michael B. Jordan stars opposite Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson in Destin Daniel Cretton's biographical legal drama about Harvard Law graduate Bryan Stevenson and the trial of wrongfully accused Walter McMillian.
- Bonnie & Clyde (1967) 1967 was a landmark year for Hollywood, when age of innocence ended. No movie embodies this watershed moment better than Arthur Penn‘s graphically violent, potently sexy biographical crime film starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as infamous bank robbers.
