Test Directions

Mr. Oliver
Sports Mgmt.
Final Screenplay Test

Directions: Your test today is to create an additional one and a half pages of your screenplay, based on your treatments. It should be properly formatted and have in it all the things we’ve been studying, great dialogue, conflict, a theme, and a well described setting. You can choose to write any scenes that you choose: the beginning, the middle, or the end. You can go back and forth if you choose. The minimum requirement is to be as creative as possible and to write one and a half pages.

To get the BEST GRADES, simply follow this checklist

• Is the screenplay PROPERLY FORMATTED, slug lines that tell the viewer where and if the scene is day or night?

• Does it contain great dialogue that moves the story along and is realistic?

• Is the dialogue in the right place on the page?

• Does it contain conflict and tension?

• Does it have a theme?

• Are the descriptions of the setting vivid?
