How do people think of good dialogue for a film?

I've seen a lot of films, where in them, they have some of the most interesting dialogue and screenwriting I've seen. Examples would be Quentin Tarantino's films. I don't know how they do it, but I wanted to write a screenplay for a short film, and how could I think of very neat and interesting dialogue?|||Hey,





To be honest I really hate to put this boldly, but inspiration.


I mean, amazing people like Tarantino probably can see the situations, and the character's in their heads and they probably with that have a good idea about what they would say. To be honest, there are times where you know exactly what to say, and for playwrights, and for screenplay writers, have to recognise this, and they have to understand the character's and the mood their in and the situation that their in, and by doing this they should have a good understanding of what they would say.


But for the most amazing dialogue, its just a matter of INSPIRATION!

This is not only interesting but it also builds tension if used in the right situation. You just need to come up with a story which is interested and a little intimidating and you can get a great short film in the style of Tarantino. Another thing Tarantino does is he has a conversation between two people but the whole time they are talking their is a tension between them. You fell they know something sinister about each other and if done correctly this is a brilliant feature to include in a script.





Also you need to make sure you're dialogue is plausible. A lot of amateur filmmakers have problems with this, especially dialogue used when reacting to something happening around them. When you write a script you need to go back on it and check two things.





1) You can imagine you're characters actually saying these things in a situation


2) You can imagine real people talking like this.
