PLAYWRITING – Day 34

In computer lab 100 we continued scripting our 5 minute scene (approx. 5 pages) and looked for ways to put our characters in extremes. Under pressure. In trouble. Within conflict.
1.      In paragraph form, right on your script, explain what has taken place before your written scene takes place – something that makes the dialogue full of subtext (instead of being literal, or “on the line”)
2.      Add one metaphoric speech to your script. Write the word “metaphor” next to it.
REMEMBER: "We're trying to write cricket bats.”
     Add and mark lines in your script that say one thing, but mean another. 

    When finished, read about PROPER script format and make appropriate changes (time-permitting) using the following website: http://www.playwriting101.com/ - focus on items #5 - 11.
REMINDER: the script’s deadline has been changed to Monday, January 23.
