The next assignment is to write your screenplay.
Download the file below. It is a sample screenplay with built-in formatting.
Open the document. This is the correct screenplay format.
In the control bar at the top, open Styles Pane.
By clicking on different formats in the screenplay, you can see what each format is called:
Sluglines are for changing scenes. Every time we change time or place, it's a new slugline.
Action is for describing what is happening. Action automatically follows slugline in styles.
Character goes before each character's dialogue
Dialogue is each line the character says. Dialogue will automatically follow each character in styles.
Write your screenplay, one scene at a time using the plot points you created in your Story Circle Worksheet. Leave the current example to refer to until you have finished the screenplay, then delete the example.
