How to write a screenplay 101

  • Come up with an idea (this is the most difficult step)
  • If you can't come up with an idea for the topic you were supposed to write about.... switch topics with someone else.
  • Get some actors (sometimes actors should be drafted and assigned before you ask them to be in your skit)
  • Find a good filming location. (The location should be accesible to film crews)
and appropiate for your film. For instance...
  • Don't shoot a film about a race in a church
  • Choose your computer wisely. If your computer takes 20 minutes to load your homepage, you probably have NOT chosen wisely
  • Call your big brother and ask him how to write a screenplay
  • Put a pencil behind your ear
  • Write something
  • Take a break to listen to Josh Groban
  • Get back to work
  • Have a read through with your sister
  • Laugh
  • Get back to work
  • Finish (this is the 2nd most difficult step)

I was kind of wondering if it had anything to do with camp...
By the way, my mom is coming to camp to help out with the babies, so I might be able to do a little bit here or there if you need an extra 'big person'! :-)

Fantastic! We'll find something for you to do!

We're not comming to camp! :( I guess you will have to tell me after camp is over.
