Why can't I write my story out?

[FriendlyShadow]

Well, not like a book, but like screen plays/scripts I'm writing about. Now, the good thing is I already have my characters, plots, and know how the story is going to happen. The problem is i just have trouble writing a story about these plots. I don't know why, but every time I try to write one of my "unfinished screenplays" starting at the beginning, I don't know how it should start or like describe the scenes. I don't know how the characters use their facial expressions while they speak or something or how they move. I am afraid of taking some eles's ideas that have already been done before in shows, movies, books, even other screen plays. Can anyone help me on this?

Maybe you could download other screenplays from the internet and see exactly how they write theirs. I'm not saying plagiarise word for word, but you could get inspiration and ideas from that writing style.
