Congratulations and phenomenal job to EVERYONE who has participated thus far and contributed to the project! That being said, it is time to get the gears turning in preparation for the next project.
Dr. Balas, the Mass Communications chair has announced the Zombie Film Festival, going up at the end of the semester on Dec. 4th. She will be there, as well as other professors and administrative staff of the university; this is a crucial time for us, as it is an excellent opportunity for us to show our work and make a solid impression on the university. This is our chance to show em' what we got!!
Get working on your scripts and write up a treatment to pitch at the next meeting (On November 3rd). From there we will choose directors and then scripts and kick off production!
Go to www.celtx.com for free screenwriting software. It is an excellent tool for scriptwriting if you can't cough up the cash for FinalDraft.
quick recap:
INT. EXT. -- Interior/exterior. Also can use I/N for both.
Transitions in the script are called slug lines. These include CUT TO, FADE IN, FADE OUT, DISSOLVE TO, FADE TO BLACK, BLACKOUT, etc..
Here the basic format:
INT. LOCATION -- DAY
Action goes here....
CHARACTER
Dialogue.
More action here...
SLUG LINE
Not to worry, Celtx is really good about assisting in the formatting of the script. All you gotta do is write =)
So that being said...happy writing!!!
=)
so blogger is being stupid and is messing up the text formatting, but the SLUG LINE goes all the way to the right side...not the middle...
