WIM Module 5 lesson 12 Starting Act four
Working Hard every day to become the best writer I can be and as a result I do become the best writer in Hollywood.
What I learned from this assignment is the need to watch and learn the direction the script is going. To me it often seems to have a mind of its own.

Vision – to be the best faith-based screenwriter
Progress: Into the best part – the climax. I envisioned this scene earlier so it was easiest to write.

WIM Module 5, Lesson 12
Lenore Bechtel Start Act 4
My vision: I want to create enough salable screenplays that an agent will want to market my work and recommend me for writing assignments.
What I learned from doing this assignment is that I can write faster than I can cut something I’ve already written.
Because I’ve already written first drafts for two screenplays for this class, I decided to spend today’s writing time cutting a previously written 117 page screenplay down to 90 pages. Four hours later, I’m shocked to discover what I thought was some serious cutting obviously was not. I still have 113 pages and very little to show for today’s efforts.
So now I’m wondering about the relative marketability of a 113 page script as opposed to a 90 page script. I hope we find that out in this class.

Alyssa Started Act 4
One Sentence Vision: To be the best writer I can be and a go-to writer in the industry, crafting scripts that become successful movies and make a lasting impact on people.
Pushing into act four, which is the shortest act in my outline- I only have a few scenes and the main scene is quite long with a lot that happens in one location. As I fill it out, I may have to change the location once or move people around enough that it doesn’t get stagnant. But that’s a problem for the next draft! Speeding through for now.

Adrienne – Start .Act 4 Module 5 Lesson 12
My Vision: I am going to work as hard as I reasonably am able to succeed at script writing to be recognized by multiple movie producers as a skilled script writer, and to have my scripts produced worldwide.
What I have learned from this assignment is to keep empowering myself, keep writing without going back, and keep my creative juices flowing.
It’s a good feeling to know I can start Act 4 and keep to my concept and outline, while developing structure and dialogue.
