# Script

### How to write your first script!

1. Go to your left sidebar and create your new project. You can start a project from scratch or use our pre-filled template;

   * If you start a project from scratch, you need to name your project and set up accessibility. You can make it generally accessible in your workspace or only private to certain members;

2. Click "**Add script**" to create your first task;

   * You can assign the scriptwriter and media producer, by simply @ them or adding their email addresses;
   * You can also assign the due date, tag, collaborator, and other fields for each script task;

3. You can "**start with an empty script**", "**start with a storyboard**", or "**start with a speaking script**". Since storyboards and speaking scripts are embedded with pre-filled information, we highly recommend you start from these two;

### FAQ

1. What's the difference between "[**start with an empty script**](https://help.creatibi.com/en-us/product-guides/script/start-with-an-empty-script)", "[**start with a storyboard**](https://help.creatibi.com/en-us/product-guides/script/start-with-a-storyboard)", and "[**start with a speaking script**](https://help.creatibi.com/en-us/product-guides/script/start-with-a-speaking-script)"?
   * "Start with an empty script" means there is no pre-built information under this task. You will get a white canvas and you can build content from scratch.
   * A storyboard script provides more options like shot types and camera angles, while a speaking script can include multiple voice-over texts on the same topic. So if you are looking for videos with many scene changes, you should go with "start with a storyboard"; otherwise, you should go with "start with a speaking script".
