screenwriting

I've wanted to take a screenwriting class for about three years now, so naturally I was excited when I heard about the workshop. I'm only two classes in and I already feel like I've learned so much. The actual screenplay formating was my first challenge. Even with CeltX to help I felt so lost. I don't think that every part of it is 100% correct, but I think that it's right overall.

After I came up with an idea and actually wrote the screenplay the next challenge was taking the screenplay apart. I constantly was revising and even completely changing my piece. That helped me learn a lot on my own because it gave me a sense of what worked and didn't work.

And although I didn't get to go over mine in yesterday's workshop, I learned so much just from listening to responses to other peoples screenplays. I got tons of thoughts on what makes and doesn't make a good screenplay. The responses that were given to the screenplays that were read helped me figure out what's really important in the recipe for a good film.
