Screenplay
(sample page for my students' use)
This was my favorite unit of the year. We got to watch some very interesting short films and then write an original screenplay. My group and I wrote about the food in the pantry that nobody wants to eat. It's a very funny and clever film, and in it we expertly use theatrical techniques from the Screenwriter's Toolbox such as lighting, montage, and various camera angles.
Since this unit started I have begun to view movies and TV shows with a more critical eye, analyzing the writing and editing for film techniques and plot development. I feel like a movie critic now and I really enjoyed this project. |
