Editorial Review: Product Description: Hollywood Screenwriter helps you turn an amateur story idea into a Hollywood blockbuster! Get a full analysis of your script and learn statistical information about your scenes and characters Spellchecker correct typos instantly Drag-and-drop editing lets you move or change a block of text(or a whole scene) without reformatting the entire screenplay Word Processing modes make writing query letters, outlines, treatments, acceptance speeches, etc. a snap Amazon.com Review: Show business loves its archetypes. One chestnut that won't go away is the image of the feverish screenwriter, hunched over a word processor, ideas flying so thick and fast that the chore of punctuation would invite creative disaster. Hollywood Screenwriter is a script-writing program that promises to simplify the mundane stuff--like proper script formatting--so creative juices can flow freely. The only keys a writer needs to move between script elements in this program are TAB, ENTER, and (. Since scripts have a logic and order that's fairly standardized, the program can intuit what's next, placing time of day after scene headings or formatting for dialogue or a parenthetical after a character's name. This is a less-complicated program than some of the more expensive screenwriting programs out there, but it doesn't do as much as those other offerings either. Hollywood Screenwriter is designed for writing spec scripts: speculative screenplays designed to get the attention of stage or screen producers. This program will help you format your script correctly, ensuring that it won't get tossed out based on appearance. But if someone decides to produce your masterpiece, you won't be able to make a production script with this program. Then again, if that happens, you might feel flush enough to go buy one of those spendy programs that does A and B pages. No other place clings to dated stereotypes of how things are done quite like Hollywood does. Included in Hollywood Screenwriter's instruction manual are painstakingly detailed instructions on how to assemble a script correctly. Which begs the question: Are there really people out there who would reject a possible Oscar winner because it's not punched by a three-hole press and bound by two solid-brass Acco No. 5 brads? --Anne Erickson Amazon.com Product Description: Put the final touch on your inspiration with this formatting program. It includes templates for over 40 television shows. Choose from Screenplay, Drama, Sitcom, or Stage Play formatting. Time- and energy-saving pop-up menus provide shortcuts that let you maintain your creative flow. End up with a finished product that looks and reads like the real thing. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not horribleI'm an amateur writer that has this product. It was actually sitting on my shelf for a couple years so maybe there is a newer version that corrects a couple things. My main #1 issue with this: I wrote and rewrote a screenplay in this software and it was 75 pages. I wanted to then move it over to a format that could be shared. I saved it in RTF format. When I open it up in MS Word or any other standard reader, it came up as 72 pages. One thing that is definitely true, it did not keep ... Read More Rating:  - Hollywood Screen Writer ProgramIt's a nice program but based on older technology. It won't download to the harddrive. Rating:  - Unless you're producing a blockbuster, this is what you need!This program is great. The process of writing a screenplay was sped up by the drop down devices employed by this software. It's really easy to use and upload. Yes, you have to leave the disc in your drive in order to use it, but who cares? If all you want is a script that will print onto plain white paper (spell check included), you've found what you need at a very low cost. I was tempted to pay over $100 for the other programs, but decided to stick with this one. All I wanted was a script, and that's ... Read More Rating: - Not Worth the Time or MoneyHollywood Screenwriter is not worth the time nor the money; it is designed for the amateur who wants to get "something" on paper, not a professional who not only wants to get something on paper, but wants that something to be the best he/she can create...and then be able to have it work with other elements of filmmaking including Scheduling, Full Production Breakdown Reports, Industry Standard Revision Draft Colors, Rundown Sheets, Budgeting, and Storyboard Linking. Of what use to the film ... Read More Rating: - Well worth the price.Although it doesn't come with much of a manual, it will get my screenplay "down on paper". No software will make me a better writer but, if you just need something to do the formatting as you write, this is it. You can learn how to use it in about 10 minutes, and it doesn't cost a bundle. |
