Scriptwriting assignment
What do you have to do?
1. Choose a scene to write about (e.g. write a new beginning for the movie, write a new ending, rewrite a scene that wasnt as funny/scary/bloody/horrible/romantic as youd like) 2. What is your script going to be about? Is it a love story? Or a battle scene? Does it explain something? Or is it just for fun? 3. Write your scene, remember: Use 700-750 words and write down how many you used Use a font that the teacher can actually read. Backgrounds and funny fonts and nice colours are great, but not if you get an insufficient mark because the teacher cant read what you wrote down. Your scene has to have a beginning, middle and ending. You are allowed to make up a maximum of three characters. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST! Dont forget the 1:1 ratio of speech: description of the surroundings.

Fill this in before you start:


1. Who is my main character? 2. Who is my character interacting with? (Write down all the names and what their relation to your main character is!)

3. What is my script going to be about?

4. What is my first line going to be?

5. What is my last line going to be?
