Today please complete your Film Treatment. See below for details. You will use your treatment to write your film script (upcoming project).
In preparation of writing a film script, please check this script website.
Spend some time here. Click on the links regarding story structure, script format, getting ideas, information about the industry, etc.
Finally, under sample scripts, choose 1 script from the list and read it. Yes. Actually read the script. Pick something you like, it will be more enjoyable that way. As you read please complete the following analysis:
1. If you have seen this film, how is reading the script SPECIFICALLY different from watching the movie? Are there scenes that have been cut from the actual film? Identify them. How do written characters and live actors in film compare? How, as a writer, do words and lines communicate ideas to a director--are scenes shot for shot accurate, or are details missing?
2. Look for film vocabulary. Closeups and long shots, and various terms. If you don't know a term, write it down in your notes to discuss in class.
HOMEWORK: Choose and read a film script. If you did not turn in your required treatment, complete for homework (past due).
