Assignment #1
Create a story with the 7 steps discussed in class. This should just be 7 sentences that start with the following:
ONCE UPON A TIME ...
AND EVERY DAY...
UNTIL ONE DAY ...
AND BECAUSE OF THIS ...
AND BECAUSE OF THIS ...
UNTIL FINALLY ...
AND EVER SINCE THAT DAY ...
In writing your story we'd like you to include a character who has a goal (who wants something) and an obstacle that is keeping him/her from that goal. Also, try your best to have each one of the seven steps flow logically to the next.
Bring in three copies each of your three stories to class on Thursday (6/21). Bring in one story per sheet - so you'll be bringing in 9 printouts in all.
*Obtain a copy of David Mamet's "On Directing Film" and begin reading.
