All participants in the class have an opportunity to be the author, the actor and the audience each in their own turn. After the reading, each student’s script is discussed. This has got to be one of the best experiences in writing I have ever had especially for writing comedy.
All of these elements of story development are used when creating your character’s back-story. The back-story consists of the details of life prior to your character in the here and now. The back-story can make your character more three dimensional, more real. The back-story provides the character’s motivations as well.
The treatment has to be the best of your screenplay and it must be written in a very clever way. This is what you show around to garner interest in your screenplay. Show the treatment to your mom and dad, your sister and brother, your best friend, and maybe even your instructor at school. While they are offering advice you have a chance to gage their reactions, and decide if these responses are what you want from your viewing audience. Listen to their feedback and make whatever necessary script changes that may come to your attention.
Lighting is always a key issue. While it is not hard to learn, you must learn to see lighting issues right away. Lighting for film was always very tricky and in film it is absolutely necessary to use a light meter. With film there is a question of the color of the light as well. With video, the problems with shadow, glare, and color temperature, become much easier to deal with. I do not want to throw you off trying actual film, when film is lit and shot properly it is heaven, but in the beginning it will be more realistic to use a digital video camera.
