DIALOGUE ASSIGNMENT

• Using the beat moments of OPENING IMAGE, THEME STATED AND SET UP within your screenplay you will write 3 to 4 pages of dialogue

• Make sure that you use Celtx to write your Screenplay. You must use the correct form

• Your lead character must be at least introduced by page 2

• Theme must be stated by someone OTHER than the lead character

• Please remember that it doesn't HAVE to be dialogue.  It can be images.  Take a look at the short film I have linked up.  You can't see this at school, because Youtube is blocked.

  • Part 1

  • Part 2

• This dialogue should play well.  Remember, this is written to be performed, not just read.  But you have to capture the reader in order to get the spec money to be allowed to continue.

• YOU MUST BRING IN 3 COPIES OF YOUR SCREENPLAY. (this is the responsibility of the Project Manager)
