ALL JUNIORS: Producing the Screenplays

This week both 4th and 5th period juniors need to do the following:

WATCH THIS VIDEO and take notes.  You will be responsible for the content.

Finalize your scripts by making adjustments associated with the aforementioned video.

Using the three act guideline handout, fill it out according to your plot.

Print out all production forms on the blog.  Also print a copy of the Portfolio: Markband Descriptors

Prepare to present a one minute pitch to your class.  This will be graded.

If you don't know how to make a pitch:  Read: How to Pitch a Screenplay and Watch This Video and Follow the Format!  Finally, read the Do's and Dont's of Pitching (bottom of page)

Your paperwork (one page, typed, 12pt, courier) will include:  Name, title, genre, log line, setting, three act statements, ending, and theme/idea.


Then, on Wednesday, after the pitches are done, your classmates will vote on which screenplays will be produced.

Team selections will follow.  Once teams are selected, screenwriters will add their team members to their Celtx project.  A contact sheet will be created for each team member.
