To write a good script, you should have a good concept. Actually script writing is nothing but a story telling. Everyone in this world has its own sense of story telling. Same story can be delivered in different ways. You should find yours !.
Writing a script which can be converted to film is somewhat different than normal Script writing. If you wish to make a film out of your script then you should able write a "SREENPLAY". Simply Screenplay means the sequence of images which you actually will see on screen. While writing a screenplay, you should visualize or imagine your film as if it is running on a scree. You should imagine each and everything like camera angles, sound, lights, movement of characters, set on which you are shooting, properties and each & every detail. To become a very good screenplay writer, what I would suggest is go n pick any of your favorite movie and start writing what you see on the screen frame by frame. The result is "Screenplay".
Technically speaking, Screenplay has some technical aspects. Every professional screenplay have some basic fundamentals. We should understand those fundamentals. To write a screenplay there are various editors available in the market like Celtx, Final Draft, Screenwritting etc. My personal favorite is Final Draft. You can use it in even your ipad and iphone. It runs on almost all platforms ranging from windows to iOS.
Let us Discuss the Components of Good Screen Play.
1. Single Motive Line
The most common mistake a screenwriter can make is to break or fracture the storyline. Storyline has a specific start, a middle and a End. To write a good screenplay you should decide your storyline first. Your good storyline probably will not confuse your viewers. For example, if you tell your friend that I am going to tell you a horror incidence that happened last night with me. Then your friend will listen to it accordingly. And in between if you crack some joke then he will scratch his head and will start thinking that was it really a horror incidence. FU** !

2. Genre
Great movies are based on a blend of genres. All stories are blends of genres. The two most popular and commercial successful genre blends today are action/adventure and romantic/comedy. Genre has always been with us, be it in ancient Greek myths, Shakespearean stage plays or in modern straight-to-video movies.
Study films of the type you would like to write or make and see how past masters of these movies unfold their stories.
3. Strong Openings
Your screenplay should have a very good opening shot or a scene according to the genre of your movie. This will engage audience in your movie.
4. A Message
A movie with a great message is a great movie. See if your movie or screenplay can relate to a theme that is larger or more universal than the story you are telling.
