looking for books/videos/tutorials/blog posts for writing super short scripts

Post Body

i currently create online courses and am new to writing scripts.

the courses have little 2-3 min scenes that set up a situation to illustrate a very specific topic. the scenes usually involve 1-3 actors.

i've grabbed most of the books y'all have recommended in this sub (from the library).

but those texts tend to be focused on more complex development than i'm doing - and rightfully so!

i'm just wondering if you've stumbled across literally anything that's helped you:

  • create snappy & interesting dialogue (i loved that in-depth post about types of dialogue and am using it already)

  • consider what the writing will sound like when acted

  • throwing rocks at your hero

it can be an off-the-beaten path resource (as an example: some of the best management tips i got from a book about parenting).

i switched careers and feel out of my depth and welcome any ideas y'all have!
