Pre-production Unit- Reading up on script-writing.

Today I have taken it upon myself to begin reading up on books on scriptwriting. I am fairly confident that I will be taking script-writing as my major project subject, and as such it is important that I get very confident in the subject and research it as much as I possibly can.
Luckily UCAs online library has many ebooks that I can look at to investigate this subject further while I am home in Nottingham with no way to access UCA's physical library in Rochester.

So far, some notable sources I am finding particularly useful in my script-writing studies are: "Writing and Script- A very short introduction" by Andrew Robinson and also several websites which showcase the actual scripts used in major Hollywood blockbusters.

The UCA online library which connects me to the resources I will be studying.

I have also come across some more obscure sites in my investigations such as THIS ONE, which has taught me that script-writing shouldn't be majorly focused on suggesting camera shots and angles (this would usually be at the Director's discretion, not mine)  and camera angle changes and shots should only really be suggested when wanting to highlight something in particular.
This is highlighted in such scripts as this first draft of James Cameron's ALIEN:

something I noted was that this script-writer's style involves a lot of focus on the actual actions of the actors and set, with minimal emphasis on what the camera is doing.
I believe this is beneficial, as it allows the director to be more experimental with the camera on the day of the shoot, and also makes the script easier for actors to read, as a lot of information that is irrelevant to them is taken away.
