Tiny Writes
I am the script-writer for a movie making club I am a part of, and usually I am left to write the whole script alone. Once it is finished, a lot of people in my club want me to re-write it because it is too "cliche." Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve my script-writing and make it more original? :)

I also write scripts, but for plays instead of films, and I don't have a lot of experience so idk if this will actually be helpful? You could try having someone else be present as you're writing it and give feedback in the moment, as that is more helpful then when you're finished; and you can think about putting as much emotion as you can into your characters. I also try to write my dialogue as how I think these specific characters would really talk, and sometimes that helps! I also bet that you are a very good script writer because all of writing is cliches and audiences do enjoy seeing a storyline they can recognize and relate to!! Hope this is worthy info :D happy writing!!!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
The thing to remember is that cliches are perfectly okay if you use them right. The reason they get so much grief is because people throw them in where they don't belong. If you are going to use cliches go right ahead, but first ask yourself if that's the best thing that could happen in that part of the script.
Thank you so much! This is super helpful. :)
If you’re the script writer and no one else is helping out and they don’t end up liking it you should get them to help you fix it. It’s honestly not your problem if they don’t like it.
I also agree with this!!
