5 Page Short
5 page short due written in Final Draft. Uploaded to Moodle as a .pdf only.
BEFORE writing the script, you must first write a 1-2 page treatment. Single spaced. Exported as a .pdf. Treatment does not have to be written in Final Draft.
This is a treatment for a short film that could possibly be shot in the Birmingham/Jefferson County area. Note that the film will be 5 pages long. Do not think of this as a feature. Think of it as a short film. You can tell any story that you want. Any genre. Avoid cliche'. Be sure to include the following elements:
Act 1 - Setup (Be sure to clearly show where this starts and ends)
Act 2 - Confrontation (Be sure to clearly show where this starts and ends)
Act 3 - Resolution (Be sure to clearly show where this starts and be sure that your story has a satisfying ending. Know your ending before you start writing)
