4/8-10/14 – Beginning Screenplay

Tuesday, 4/8/14

Aim: Deciding on a story to tell

Daily Spark: Describe the meeting between two people. First as a drama, then as a horror film then as a rom com.

 

A few things:

1. Many of you wrote your scenes into the 7 turning points instead of making the scene ONE of the 7 turning points. If this is you – you must rewrite today (later)
2. First you will decide on a script to write. We will start with an exercise in the packet you have in front of you (good script, bad script
   1. At home,  click here and scroll to page 6
3. Which of your two stories have more elements of a “good film” and less elements of a “bad film”
4. At this point, if your 7 TPs are one scene, you should work to rewrite it, if it is not,
