Screenwriting X, Y, Z

Look for this class in a future session.

The focus will be finishing a screenplay draft and is a continuation of the summer session that focused on character development.  Do you know whose story it is and what the protagonist wants?  Has the protagonist undergone a temporary or complete change over the course of the screenplay?  In the end, what does the protagonist get, and is it quite different from what he originally wanted?  Have you concentrated on visuals?  Have your written the screenplay you set out to write?  Prerequisite is that you have been enrolled in either winter or spring classes or that you have taken other screenwriting classes.  You must submit a step outline or beat sheet for a feature film directly to ceciliafannon@roadrunner.com.  (Not a beginning screenwriting class).
