Scriptwriting Services: San Francisco
Luma Creative provides scriptwriting services in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. Scriptwriting can make or break a film. It’s something that takes a good concept and makes it great! After we’ve locked the video concept, we next move on to the scriptwriting. The final step before storyboarding!
Scriptwriting
Process
Our scriptwriter takes our final concept and collaborates with our director to write something poignant. Whether it’s comedic, sentimental, or serious, we want to be sure that the tone is correct. We’ll turn the core concept into a written story. Quality scriptwriting incorporates not only the visuals but also the feelings. It’s not just about what you want to say to your audience: it’s also about saying it in a way that resonates with them.
A good story should grab hold of your audience and tell your message in such an engaging way that it guides them to a Call-to-Action for the desired action.We usually try to write for our audience. Essentially, our scriptwriting needs to appeal to our target audience, not you, your boss, or your stakeholders. Although it doesn’t hurt if they like it too!
After Scriptwriting
Once our scriptwriting is complete, we usually try and run it by a few people from our target demographic. Did it sound engaging to them? Did they pick up their phone halfway through? We’ll take this valuable feedback, back to our scriptwriter and edit our draft to make it the best it can be. Professional and inspiring scriptwriting is all about playing with words in a creative manner. A sort of “outside of the box approach”. We’ve all seen ads before, so how can we shift the narrative. Our editors and specialist scriptwriters can make anything shine The script is part of the recipe of what makes vivid visuals, poignant punch lines, and successful films.
Luma Creative has a crew of talented creatives to make sure our scripts are polished, delivered on time, and really do set us up for success. Our team of trained professionals will help to create awe-inspiring scripts to promote your business even better.
Can you edit my script?
Yes, we can. Often, folks come to us with an idea or a rough script and need us to edit and flesh it out for them. We are happy to offer an hourly rate with our script writer. We can also work on project rates if that is more convenient.
How long does script writing take in San Francisco?
The time it takes to write a script in San Francisco varies depending on the type of project and its complexity. For a short commercial script, which typically runs 30 to 60 seconds, the process can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, factoring in brainstorming, drafting, and client revisions. A short film script (around 10-20 minutes in length) may require 1-2 weeks of focused work, as it involves character development, story arcs, and dialogue refinement. For more extensive projects, like a feature film script, the process can take several months to a year or more, depending on the writer’s schedule and the depth of the narrative. Collaborative projects, like corporate videos or branded content, may also add additional time for client approvals and revisions.
How Much Does Professional Script Writing Cost in San Francisco?
The cost of professional script writing in San Francisco depends on the type and scope of the project. For a short commercial script, rates typically range from $1500 to $5,000, depending on the required complexity and number of revisions. Based on length and creative demands, a short film script can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $10,000 or more. Larger projects like feature film scripts or long-form branded content may be priced on a per-page basis (e.g., $150-$250 per page) or at a flat rate that reflects the extensive time and effort involved.
