1. Write the First Draft of Your Act I (Media 123 Act I & II)
2. PEER REVIEWS
16-25 pages in script format.
USE THIS FORMAT: LastName_FirstName_Title_ v1 (i.e. Adams_Eric_The Wizard of Frogs_DRAFT First_Act_ v1).
Remember....at the top of the page use the "Shot" drop down in Celtx, to add your full name.
Ensure your Act sets up the PLOT -- the external question is posed (i.e "Will Annie succeed in throwing a successful bridal shower for her friend?" "Will Joker become a stand up comedian?" "Will Dorothy find a way back to Kansas?").
Ensure your Act sets up the STORY - the internal question is posed (i.e. Will Annie recoup her self-esteem and take a chance on love?" Will Joker learn to stand up for himself?" "Will Dorothy learn how to say good-bye?" ).
Remember these tips from the video you watched at home last week:
- Write to the audience that doesn’t want to read.
- Plenty of white space.
- Exclude Brick Walls
- Sentence Fragments are your best friend.
- One or two lines in each screen direction.
- Imply shots by describing active elements.
- Use descriptive words
