Filmmaking is a collaborative effort. That means we work together to produce a final product. No one person can do it alone! Please, as you start writing your story for Session 2, (January 24), don't be tempted to have one person write the script. Get together and everyone on your team contribute.
Remember, story is primary. I'm not worried about the proper format YET! If you have a good story, it will work. Trust me, it will take everyone on each team participating to generate a good story. We're only looking for a 5 to 10 minute story. Tell your story in one act, with one climax. You can put a couple of turning points in and don't forget conflict. It's the conflict that drives the story forward.
For this assignment, conflict can be interpersonal, or environmental. What keeps your protagonist from getting what he wants? You're going to have to get your protagonist up the tree on the first page or so, throw rocks at him from page 2 to 5ish, and get him down in the last page(s).
Let it flow. The more people collaborating together will stimulate your creative juices.
