Holy Smolly: Write your FULL SCREENPLAY!

Yes that's right, 65+ pages with a complete Act I, Act II, Act II

YOUR GOALS:

1. Establish a clear character arc for your protagonist based on a thematic premise (i.e. "crime pays," "love conquers all," "you are as ill as the secrets you keep").

2. Establish and answer a clear story question (will Thelma & Louise get caught?"

3. Craft a satisfying climax and ending that proves your thematic premise.

Remember these tips:

  • 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 and powerful verbs.
