Script Project

Take out your treatments. Get into groups of 2-3. You may, if you wish, also work alone. Each member of the group should read and review each others treatment. Choose the best treatment to use to create a collaborative script. Please turn in your treatments today as homework/participation by the end of class.

Film scripts are a strange format. Please refer to the script format here.

Here are some sample scripts. Choose a few and read a little of each script. Pay close attention to where the dialogue goes on the page, how the shots are indicated, and other curious formatting.

After you are familiar how to format a script, please take your treatment that you selected and begin creating a collaborative script.
