Alright, so as you can tell this project is lacking any strict set of guidelines, so luckily for me, I get to make it up as I go.
The last two screenplays I read, Casablanca and It's A Wonderful Life, were recommended to me by Emma so we could read a couple together and bounce ideas off of each other. I like this a lot. However, this will not always be the case--as for example, Screenplay Three. Something that Brian McDonald said in Invisible Ink was that if you want to write, you should examine "classic" or "popular" stories, and you should also examine your favorite stories to understand why they resonate with you the way they do.
I plan on doing a little bit of both here. I wasn't too familiar with either Casablanca or It's A Wonderful Life before reading them. Now I'm going to try to read a screenplay of a movie I like a lot, to see why it works for me.
Sound good?
Glad to hear you're on board! Look for Screenplay Three in the next couple days.
