Lesson 8

[jeffrey jeff glatz glatz]

My Vision – To create commercial studio size films that move people. To create characters that can live forever and bring moving memories to those that have watched one of my films.

What I learned from doing this assignment – On to Act 3…

[Cameron Martin]

Cameron Martin’s Completed Act 2

Vision: Write a killer story that connects with audiences on a spiritual level, while prioritizing quality time with my family.

What I learned from doing this assignment is…don’t make your job harder. Write what’s new by hand if it helps you get out of a perfection mindset. Don’t copy what you already have typed into a handwritten format, just so the story’s all in one place. Wasted two days doing that for an action sequence. You can do anything you want to the story later (build tension, improve dialogue, structure scenes for better pacing, etc.). The sooner you get it out of your head, the sooner you can start making that story yours.

MOD. 5-#8-Finish Writing First Draft

MY VISION – To write cutting edge, unique, human, soul-inspiring, Oscar-winning scripts that have commercial success and that producers line up to buy and make into multi-million dollar movies. With me in important leading roles. Which makes me a Force in the Hollywood Entertainment industry – as a writer, actor, producer, and director.

WHAT I LEARNED FROM DOING THIS ASSIGNMENT IS… I finished the entire first draft, all four acts – 90 pages! Two weeks is the fastest I’ve ever written a screenplay, especially one that has the most structure ever. Still a couple of things I want to solve, but all in all I am pleased.

Pam Ewing Completed Act 2

Vision: Professional. Produced. Prolific. Popular.

Learned: Behind but forgiving myself and slogging through quicksand or a tar pit. I like the thinking about dialogue and issue resolution more than writing it.
