In this one-hour class, we'll whiteboard a one-page script together on the fly as we discuss proper movie, television, and short film script format. 

Scripts are technical documents -- they are the blueprint for how to build a show, and must communicate everything a film crew needs to know to shoot your project, as well as being artistic at the same time so that the actors know what kind of performance is needed. Having your script in industry-standard format is also more professional and is taken more seriously by others (important when you're just starting out).

We'll go over what must be included in any good film script, and what NOT to put in your script. I'll explain what the parts of a script are, and what they mean, such as Transition, Parenthetical, and what a "Chyron" is. We'll also cover tricky things like intercut phone conversations, whether driving in a car is considered Interior or Exterior, montages, the difference between Offscreen and Voiceover, and more. Screenwriting software choices will be touched on as well (not required for this class).
