UNIT
Screenplays 101: Basic Formatting Unit
by Nicholas Pappas
8 lessons
Screenplays 101 is divided into two separate units: Basic Structure and Basic Formatting.
It is highly recommended that you complete the Basic Structure unit before moving on to the Basic Formatting unit.
Screenplays are used in every aspect of a film’s production. Depending on the size of the film, anywhere from a few dozen to a few thousand people use the screenplay to do their jobs. Because so many people need the screenplay to perform a job to the best of their abilities, a screenplay must be formatted immaculately.
Once completing this unit, students will have a basic understanding of how a screenplay is formatted and why it is formatted that way, all with an eye toward students developing their own screenplay.

Screenplays 101: Basic Structure Unit
by Nicholas Pappas
5 lessons
Screenplays 101 is divided into two separate units: Basic Structure and Basic Formatting.
It is highly recommended that you complete the Basic Structure unit before moving on to the Basic Formatting unit.
In this unit, we will focus on a basic history of screenplays, screenplay terminology, and the most common screenplay structure in film—the three-act structure. Theatre is important because it allows our young artists to be trained and learn about work ethic and discipline, and it creates community. But, we should also give our students opportunity and access to the cinematic arts. This is primarily a lecture-based unit with a lot of new information, with opportunities for students to apply knowledge including a final culminating project.
