Write 3 more pages of your screenplay.
Use Celtx.com for the assignment!!! For the rest of the class, you’ll be working to complete the first 10 pages of your script. You’ve already completed pages 1-2, and this week, you’ll complete pages 3-5. Learn from the feedback your TA and classmates gave on your first two pages during your live Zooms. Make sure you adhere to the industry standard for professional-looking screenplays.
While it’s entirely up to you what you write, we recommend that you craft a Set-Up sequence that fills the first 10 pages and ends with a scene containing your Inciting Incident.
Typically, you’ll want to introduce your antagonist too, but if setting up your protagonist requires the entire sequence, then all else can wait. Make absolutely sure we care about your main character, so that audiences will want to spend the next hour and more to follow his/her/their journey. Also, give us a sense of what they want, and don’t have. How will the inciting incident upset the balance of the protagonist’s life?
For this assignment, submit pages 1-5. If your TA recommended revisions to pages 1-2, those revisions should be implemented as well. You will be graded on all five pages.
