Screenplay

Screenplay assignment: Write a 5-10 page screenplay or using screenplay formatting It can be a one act with a beginning, middle and end or a segment of a larger. Please be sure that you clearly establish what a character wants and how he or she is delayed. You should have at least three scenes and the plot must progress beyond the beginning. Also, be sure that you make an effort to develop character, connecting the desire of the main character to some issue within himher rather than merely to their outside circumstances and be sure to give that person a history. You may write in any genre so long as you develop the character in this way. Think about all the techniques that might enhance your idea (perhaps, after you have written the initial idea down). Be careful too that what the audience will actually see on screen is what conveys the character of the person rather than written directives in the screenplay i.e. don’t tell us what character thinks because in a movie, we would not be able to see that. For this assignment you may not use voiceover nor may you create fan fiction.
You will ultimately turn in the rough draft, the revised draft and an explanation of the changes that you made in the draft. As you can see from the grading below, all three elements factor into the grade.
