如何开始一个剧本项目：长片还是剧集
如何正确地开始一个剧本项目：起一个暂定片名，在长片和剧集格式之间做出选择。一个决定，用一个简单的问题讲清楚。
在这一课中你将学到
- 为什么在 ScreenWeaver 中，一个故事的一切都放在一个项目里
- 如何从项目菜单新建项目
- Feature film 和 Episodical / TV 两种格式的区别
- 用一个简单的问题为你的故事选对格式
- 标题块里该写什么，不该写什么
- 去哪里重命名项目、切换格式和邀请协作者
每一部剧本都从一个项目开始。这一课你会在 ScreenWeaver 中为 The Night Ferry 创建项目，并了解 New Project 窗口中唯一真正需要做的决定：格式。Feature film 适合单一的故事，比如长片、短片、MV 或单支广告。Episodical / TV 适合剧集，同一个项目里有多集，每集内部再分幕。
你还会看到第一页上打开的标题块里该写什么，为什么你的名字、日期和版本号都不该出现在页面上，以及去哪里找到项目设置，以便之后重命名项目或切换格式。最后，Team and Sharing 会告诉你如何把合作编剧或制片人请进你的剧本。

0:04Everything in Screenweaver lives inside a project. The script, the outline, the characters, the places, and later the storyboard and the shots. One story, one project. Let's create ours.
0:18Open the project menu next to the project name at the top left of the header and click New Project. A small window opens with two settings, a title and a format.
0:30For the title, type The Night Ferry. You can change it at any time, so don't wait for the perfect title. A working title is fine.
0:38Now the format. The one real decision of this window. Feature film is made for a single story. A film, a short film, a one -off. Episodical slash TV is made for series. Several episodes in the same project, with acts inside each episode. The Night Ferry is a short film, so choose feature film.
1:01How do you choose? Ask yourself one question. Will this story be watched in one sitting, or in several parts? A short film, a feature, a music video, a single ad? Feature film. A web series, an animated series, a vertical drama in many episodes? Episodical. If you're not sure, start with feature film. You can switch later.
1:26Click Create Project. The script opens on a first block already in place. The title block. Waiting for the name of your film. Type it in. In the outline, this block is the title card that sits above everything else.
1:41What goes in that title block? Just the title, in your own words. Don't add your name, the date, or a version number on the page. The project keeps track of versions for you. And if you change the title later, rename it here, and in the project settings, so the project list matches.
2:00Two more things in that same project menu. Project settings, to rename the project, or switch between feature film and episodical later, if your short film grows into a series. And team and sharing, to invite a co -writer or a producer into the project. Writing can be a solo sport, but it doesn't have to be.
2:20Your exercise? Create your own project now. Give it a working title. Choose the format that matches your idea. And type the title in the first block. In the next section, we learn the language every screenplay is written in. The format.
