There is so much to learn about the tips and tricks to telling a great story! CJ and Roxy talk about last week and the lessons learned about being screenplay writers. They also play with ideas about the best way to adapt the book to the screenplay.
As they've learned so far, their favorite movies did not necessarily follow the rules and possibly for that reason alone, captured audiences in a different and meaningful way.
Homework for CJ this week includes taking the ten initial scenes and challenging the cliches' that are commonly a trap for new writers. What is a more interesting and unusual way to create a particular scene without falling into the seen it before trap? Roxy is on vacation and plans to read the screenplay for How to Make an American Quilt poolside!
