The best thing to do first is your character backgrounds and a synopsis of the story (usually 10-15pgs for a feature length). These both form guidelines to writing the script. I find writing from beginning to end the easiest as you will generally tweak things as you go.
Also, make sure you use the proper format or get a computer program that does it for used (I used Final Draft). It gets you in the habit of doing it properly and is the most proffessional and easiest to read.
Probably the most important thing is that your script should only consist of action and dialogue. It is not a novel and you cannot say Bob felt bad when he killed zombies. You can only put Bob killed zombies. It is the actor's job to portray it visually, and the director's to interpret the script.
Hope this helps.
