PART 2: Script

Writing and reading new material, students go step-by-step through the scriptwriting process from the story level to the final draft of their class project script.

The goal is to help students translate and organize their ideas so they can be written and later used as a blueprint for production. In short, to make their ideas, stories and characters clear and simple, and to realize the scope, arc and reason for their story.

During the scriptwriting period, part of each session can be dedicated to the basic elements of Film Grammar. Showing and playing with the material in the Grammar Room, the basic craft can be discussed.

For the first Script class, each student must bring one page with the following: Story + Character Description + Location Step Outline. Students will go through the scriptwriting process with their own scripts, divided into these steps:
