Maltese Falcon (part III); Selecting a film pitch

We will complete our viewing of The Maltese Falcon. After viewing the film, please post a forum response to one of the questions there.

Turn in a copy of your 3rd pitch draft. During 2nd period, please select one of your pitch projects and begin the following:
Create a structured plot point and plot outline for your film script BASED on your idea. Your film script should be between 8-15 pages (in film format).

Complete the character brainstorming worksheets as well in class for your film idea.

This is a solo project. Please work alone on creating a script.

You may have forgotten the film format. On the link page (see the right of this post) you will find instructions for film format. Please learn and use the proper film format for your screenplay. This is an ongoing project at the moment. Your participation in the lab will determine your deadline.

HOMEWORK: Complete the forum posts for Citizen Kane (Late); and The Maltese Falcon (due today).
If you have not yet read the Emergence of TV and HUAC please do so for Monday. We will be discussing it then.
