Today we finished the front page of the Act 2 questions. If they were not completed in class students should do so at home tonight. We watched 6min. of The Origins and Formatting of Modern Screenplays on Vimeo. It gave us a little background into the film industry and how scripts were born. Thank you to Chase for his interesting Speakers Corner presentation.

Today we wrote our first script. Learned a bit about script or screen play writing and began Act 2 with some of the regular work of the novel study. Check out the youtube video on screen writing if you need to review.
