Screenplays 101: Basic Structure Unit

by Nicholas Pappas

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.
