The First 10 Pages When it comes to screenwriting, you only have 10 pages to accomplish five goals: Establish the tone/genre (is this a comedy, fantasy, spoof, etc.) Introduce your main character: interesting, flawed, and if not likeable, at least empathetic… somebody we can hope and fear for. Clarify the world of the story and the status quo. Indicate the theme or message (Good vs. Evil, Man vs. Nature, etc.) Set up the dramatic situation – that is, what the story is going to be about.
