I have found Celtx extremely helpful for our exercises in screenwriting. It's really easy to use and saves time. I particularly like the way that you can select text formats such as dialogue or scene heading, and then simply write! I really enjoyed re-formatting the Shoes script for class thanks to Celtx, I tried to do it without at first but it became very time consuming, via Celtx it took half the time.
Re-formatting a script was, I feel, a good exercise as it has helped me to familiarise myself with the software, so when I come to type up my own short script I won't be worrying too much over the formatting and will be able to concentrate on the story. Combined with the formatting hand out Celtx has made script writing a more enjoyable experience for me. I don't feel however that I have fully explored the software yet, so I plan to explore it more before I come to writing my own script.
