Six Points to Ponder When Writing Your Screenplay

According to Albert Lopez, a filmmaker based in San Francisco, there are six main things every aspiring screenwriter must keep in mind while working on a screenplay. They are the most important points because they are the most basic elements of any script. In no particular order, these are:
Know where you’re going.
Don’t use dialogue as a crutch.
Give characters playable actions.
Maintain structure/format.
Create obstacles for your main characters.
Second acts are hard to write.
