Week Four: Adaptation, Novel to Film

This week we will talk about the screenplay, screenplay form and this week's assignment which is to take any scene from the The Great Gatsby and adapt it for the screen in the form of a screenplay. Below is a graphic that shows the basic outline of screenplay form. There are a number of sites on the internet that will show you a similiar template.

If you want to try screenplay software, you can go to the celtx site and download the free version of their scriptwriting and production software.

 This software will allow you to save your screenplay as a text file or a PDF which you can link to your blog. Please publish your screenplay to your blog before class. I look forward to reading your screenplays.
