Screenwriting Scratch

So, the basic idea of the articles were to give us an idea on how to go about writing a good screen play. I think the advice from Trbic's article was a good one. He gave a good guideline on how to organize a screen play. I noticed how the character's names were capitalized and how before every scene, the setting and time of day were written out. I also enjoyed reading Mechner's article as well. I have played the original Prince of Persia, and it is incredible how far it has come. The part about how to balance interpretations from game to movie, movie to novel, etc, was really interesting as well. From reading the articles, I think I could apply some of these ideas to our screen writing as well. The organization of a scipt is an obvious one. I think making an outline or a synopsis for our screenplay is probably our first priority.
