HOMEWORK: Please begin to write your script over the next 2 weeks. Keep your film script to between 7-20 pages in length. Use the planning worksheets you received to write your idea into a script. Use the script format (see links to the side; and our handout) to help prepare your script. The script will be tentatively due April 11. Remember: you may receive extra credit for watching any 1920's-1940's film this marking period. Full films are listed below (and in previous posts). Netflix (if you have it) also has many options, if you search a bit. You may also attend any film screening at the Dryden Theater and post your response to our forum.
