Good news and bad news

 * Some people were very creative. But most people did not master formatting perfectly.

==Creative scripts is good news


 * Some of the scripts were very creative. But it is hard to be creative and still keep to the original story.  Here is the best example from Rick van Veldhuizen (Rick14) who is from the Netherlands.  You can download his script at [[Media:Rick14 Screenplay SBTDS.pdf]].



The bad news

 * With few exceptions, no one did this assignment successfully. Your formatting was not perfect.


 * Every one of you would have been fired if you did this in Hollywood. Just too many mistakes.


 * Therefore, you must look at real motion picture scripts and see what you are doing wrong.


 * Most film schools have libraries of motion picture scripts. Take a look.
