Notes:

• before your screenplay can be turned into a movie it needs to be read first
• you only have 10 pages to setup 5 elements
• it is important to know the rules of the genera
• the world of the character is a vital piece of the screen play
• set your story in a unique world
• hint at your theme early
• the dramatic situation hints at the path of the story
• sometimes all 5 elements are covered in the first scene
