Thank you for making this! It helped me a lot since I felt kinda lost for the scripting part and all. Also, I'd be very interested in knowing more about that index card technique :)
Saving this immediately i've never tried actually making a full on comic before but i've always wanted to try and this has been really helpful to work out where to start!
I've seen a lot of videos to help me understand the process of these two and even the big difference meanwhile you explained one pretty short video, thank you so much for this
I think this outline is absolutely necessary to structure the story. Then I would go over the outline and write the script. I may design the script in a more visual format so I can see how big to make each pane, what should go in each pane and thought bubbles (all in text). Then I will file up the art program and start painting.
hey thank you, you being very helpfull with showing youreal, simple and easy to understand even from me that i am from another country and i dont speak english hehe. really thanky you, grattings from argentina
How does the author know what to write for each moment/scene/chapter, if they don't know the end of the story? Is the author pulling from something in the story to tell them where to take it? I won't know much about my story idea, just something vague like your sample magical kid concept, so it's hard to know where the story should go since I don't know what it's about. I'm not sure what kinds of goals or complications or things to put in each scene. Any advice? Maybe I'm just missing understanding something simple that most story tellers know and use to tell their stories! Also, since the author isn't drawing the frames at the script writing phase, is the author imagining what each frame should be as they're writing the scene/moments? I'm interested to learn how the script transforms into the frames and layout. Great video!
@@danielburns1556 the story is something you have to think about, whether it is character driven or plot driven will change its execution. More character driven stories will have more focus on the characters struggles within the plot, and plot driven will be more focused on the characters dealing directly with the plot. You need to think about what kind of story you want to tell as well as what struggles you want your characters to endure. You really need to think about it. Thoughts and ideas need to be fleshed out in more detail because you need to at least have a loose direction to work with for your plot to prevent you from getting burnt out and stuck, or creating too many holes or contradictions. Think of your story like a movie. Maybe watch a couple movies within your chosen genre or read some comics/novels within your chosen genre to help you understand pacing and progression of story lines and character development. It's mostly just experience and writing down ideas and working through what works and what doesn't.
Thanks! And you shouldn't focus on meeting the quota as much as getting enough in to say what you want to say in a chapter. Chapters typically range from 14-45 pages, give or take, and each page can have any number of panels. It's not recommended to exceed 8 panels per page as the pages can start looking cluttered after that point, but those are all personal preferences you can bend around for the desired look.
Thank you! And yes, a flashback can be set up the same way as an inciting incident, typically something like that would be counted as a "prologue" but its ultimately up to you how you go about it
This is focusing mostly on the writing part, so it would be fine if the writer is working with an artist as long as the writer finds these tips helpful and useful. Its about taking what you need and applying it to your process however its most helpful to you.
@@pdworld3421 no, scenes and chapters are different things, and one chapter can have (and typically does have) multiple scenes. Scenes describe the setting and context of a particular event, where chapters encompass the combination of scenes relevant to the segment of story you want to break up, which can end with a perspective change, a cliffhanger, or a resolution to whatever the characters are facing. Think of your chapters like you would think of TV show episodes. One segment of the story may get told with multiple places, buildings, environments, and characters, but all belong in the same chapter.
Unfortunately, i don't have the time to dedicate to script editing right now since i have paid work i need to take care of. But i wish you good luck with your script! 💗

Thank you for making this! It helped me a lot since I felt kinda lost for the scripting part and all. Also, I'd be very interested in knowing more about that index card technique :)
ofc! i'm happy to help! i will work on a video to explain the index card technique soon!

Im happy its helpful!!
The index card method is ingenious!! It sounds really fun yet easy to do. Thanks a ton for sharing this!

I'm only 40 seconds in but I just have to point out the angry little white man from Pink Panther on your pink wall that's really clever. 😁

Great video. Thanks for this. How many panels are usually in a chapter?

@@IkaHime Thank you. Very helpful!
I love how you explain the outline process. What about if the first inciting incident is a flashback? Can it still be set up the same way?
Thank you! And yes, a flashback can be set up the same way as an inciting incident, typically something like that would be counted as a "prologue" but its ultimately up to you how you go about it
I didn't know Comic book scripts had chapters. How many?
Your script chapters directly correlate to your physical comic chapters, and you write as many chapters as it takes to tell the story.
Can this work if the writer is working with an artist? or is it just for the ones that are both the writer and the artist?
This is focusing mostly on the writing part, so it would be fine if the writer is working with an artist as long as the writer finds these tips helpful and useful. Its about taking what you need and applying it to your process however its most helpful to you.
@@IkaHime Okay ^^, and it is helpful tbh.
it looks like your chapters are scenes? am I right?
