Class 10 Assignments

Homework (Due April 1) — Write a 3 – 4 paragraph treatment of your pitch:

  • Paragraph 1 = Act I
  • Paragraph 2-3 = Act II
  • Paragraph 4 = Act III

Milestones in the 3-Act Screenplay:

  • By the end of Act I, the “big event” should have happened — know what that beat is.
  • By the end of Act II, there should be the crisis — the “all is lost” moment when the main character appears like he/she will not get what they most want.

(See page 354 – 362 in the text for descriptions and examples of treatments.)
