A Script Writing Masterclass

On Wednesday 27th November, the thing I was least expecting was to walk into class and not hear my tutor, Tim, speak a word for approximately 90 minutes. He began typing a script and we all had to follow the script. If it said ''class jump'', we had to jump. If it said ''pretend there's a hurricane'', we had to pretend there was a hurricane. It was pretty intense at times because he then began choosing people to get up and follow the script in actions at the front of the class.

After it finished, we had to write our own script. The decision was ours as to if we made Tim's script into more of a layout-ed document, or completely made our own.

As I wasn't too confident on writing a script, I decided to make Tim's look like a script, using the correct layout. We had to use a particular font, Courier, in a size 12. This is what professional script writers use in television and film.

My very random script

I made a few changes to Tim's original script as I did not have enough time to make the whole thing a detailed and well-written document. I did however enjoy writing this script, and it has given me knowledge I didn't know before. I now know what font to use, and what size, and a basic layout of writing a professional script.

Cheerio. :o)
