I'll check it out. I was told to check this site out, from another place I posted my question:

Screenwriter's Utopia


I've signed up to post there, does anyone else know about this site?

Nope, but that doesn't mean much. Composition and editing have been my main contributions to indie horror films so far. I'm reformatting a few of my stories into actual working scripts at the moment though. Check your PM by the way, ml.

classes to help you!
 
I recomend taking some telcom classes. you will learn everything you need. such as editing, lighting, camera skills, sound, and script work. all the telcom skill go into movie work. you will be pointed in the write (haha play on words) direction. i took years of telcom just to make my zombie movie (which i lost all material in a horrible experience!). look into www.telcomcayuga.org that's a good cheap school that has everything you need. i know i didn't really answer your question, but for real telcom is the way to go! learn all skills and make the whole damn thing yourself and cut out the number of mouths to feed once you do get paid by industry for your work!

Best thing to get started is to read as many scripts online (or off) as you can; many writers have vastly different styles & there is no "right" way to write a screenplay (although there ARE many wong ways). Personally, Word works just fine for me; I'm just used to it & it isn't like the formatting is difficult. I'm sure the specific scriptwriting programs can be handy, but they're hardly essential...just start writing :)
