Screenplay Reading Presentation

Before a film is made, you must have a brilliantly composed screenplay! And before the film is shot, the actors and director must do a read through of the screenplay to prepare their roles.

A Director will be appointed to choose a screenplay from the ones provided below (additional screenplays can be chosen if approved by your instructor).

The Director will also serve as the Casting Director and choose their Talent and assign them to character roles. The Director will serve as the Narrator of the screenplay.

The Director will be responsible for choosing a scene that does not contain inappropriate content (many of the screenplays have swearwords that you will need to edit for the presentation).

The Director will choose 1-2 scenes (this scene should be an appropriate length -- not too long, not too short) from the screenplay, and the group will read the screenplay scene and perform it (that means you read it with some dramatic finesse and will be doing all the acting that goes along with it!).

Every person in the class must be involved in ONE group (no more, unless necessary).

You must bring in the CLIP for the scene you’ve chosen from the film for us to watch after your performance, and we will judge how well you did.
