Week 14: Pilot Script Workshop

Today we workshopped the short-format pilot episode scripts; if you were absent, you need to make up 2 rounds of workshopping and include the reader feedback along with today's version and the final version to be turned in next week.

Please be sure to read the Final Script Assignment Sheet (downloadable in left sidebar) — this assignment will be treated as a test of your writing mechanics and script format mastery, so pay close attention to the list of errors that will earn an automatic F on the assignment.

Also, if you were absent today, you missed getting work back. Please pick papers up in the BECA Office and take care of any loose strings as noted in my comments. No late work will be accepted after the beginning of class on 5/12.

PLEASE NOTE: You are on your own now regarding mechanics and format; I will have office hours Tuesday from 4-6, but I will not be checking anyone's work for mechanics/format errors after today's class. It's time for me to see what you are able to do on your own!

Does all of this sound serious and scary? Good! But that doesn't mean you shouldn't have fun writing your episode. Be brave! I'm looking forward to reading all the fabulous, funny and dramatic stuff you come up with.

HOMEWORK: Finish your pilot episode script! See assignment sheet; due next week.
