Demonstrate an ability to develop an entirely original story
Write a script based on the original story you pitched. Be sure the story includes a clear beginning, middle, and ending. The script should be at least 10 pages, no more than 15, and include a wide range of scriptwriting and visual storytelling techniques (at least many if not all of the aspects discussed in class).
Include a page that describes any and all of the changes you made to the story from your original pitch.
In addition to overall polish, three main components will be evaluated: (1) the quality of the premise and story-arc; (2) the depth and quality of the dialogue and pacing; (3) the ability to properly use a number of scriptwriting and visual storytelling techniques.
OBJECTIVES:
Think of this as a “Final Exam,” as a chance to “show off” everything you’ve learned in this class. The script should:
1. Demonstrate an ability to develop an entirely original story that follows traditional conventions and three-act structure.
2. Demonstrate a good depth and quality of dialogue and pacing.
3. Demonstrate an ability to properly use a number of advanced scriptwriting and visual storytelling techniques.
