clouddddddddddddddd
omg I don't even know where to start on this homework assignment. I don't get it. My screenwriting professor has a way of not telling me what to do. Look at this:
You can use standard outline structure, or whatever works for you. Many screenwriters like to write scenes down on note cards. This can be really effective, since you can see your whole story (on a bulletin board, etc.) and move and/or delete scenes easily. If you choose the note card route, just enter the content into a Word doc and break each card out into its own beat/line.
Whether you choose standard outline structure, note cards, or simple paragraph format, the point of this exercise is to chart the course for your screenplay.
Each section of your outline will eventually be broken out into a scene or sequence. Make sure it flows, be conscious of pacing, and only include scenes that move the story forward—if it doesn’t develop plot or character, you don’t need it.
And please remember basic story structure and length discussed in Week 2.
The key here is to map out your entire screenplay. Build the story around your main plot points, using your synopsis as a road map.
Some notes:
* Be sure and nail the two main plot points (at the end of Acts 1 &2). See "Screenplay" for more info.
* Do not use dialogue in the outline.
* Be sure and define the protagonist, what she wants, and what stands in her way.
* Be sure and clearly define the antagonist as well (assuming there is one).
Once again, I am not looking for perfection here. You just need to demonstrate that your story has a beginning, middle, and end (and that you devote an appropriate amount of screen time to each of these sections).
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO WRITE AN OUTLINE FOR A SCREENPLAY!!!
I don't even know where to begin... _________________ Hey. I'm Kassia! |
