IMD I - SRC and Scripting.

I'm not going to be in today, but there are plenty of things to keep you busy.

1. Use lab time to finalize any work for your SRC project.  I know there are a lot of students who are looking for extra time for this project.

2. If your SRC is complete you may work on a homework assignment that I will be assigning on Friday.

Visit the site  http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/howtoformatascreenplay and answer the following questions:

1. What is a slugline?

2. HOW are they formatted?

3. What 3 elements are required for a slugline?

4. Write a sample slugline for a daytime exterior shot in the balcony at SWCA.

5. When should a new scene occur?

6. Where does an action go?

7. How do you format a character name?

8. Do you need quotes around character dialog?

9. How is CUT TO: used?

10. Is it ok to write sentence fragments in action scenes?


Read a couple pages of the sample script here http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/files/scriptfrenzy-main/format_sheetv2.pdf to get an idea of how the concepts are applied.

11.  Write a 1-2 page screenplay about a crazy lunch in the SWCA cafeteria.

Write at least 4 sluglines  (hallway, cafeteria line, food counter, lunch table..)

Include dialog between 2 characters

have some sort of short action sequence (nothing more violent that the throwing of a tater tot please....)


Have a great day!
