Write your Script

Scene-writing Checklist

The next step in creating your silent film scene is writing TWO lines of dialogue that represent the created scene. (Ex: for the scene where the actor is "accepting a big award" and then "falling off the stage after accepting the award", the two lines of dialogue might be "I'm so honored!" and then "Ouch!")

Use the steps below to help you complete this step before recording your silent film scene.

1. Finalize actions- Deciding and finalizing the actions you will perform will help you write your two lines.

2. Action 1 line- Write a line for your first action. You can brainstorm a few ideas on a piece of paper.

3. Action 2 line- Write a line for your second action. Feel free to work together with your partner if you need some assistance.

4. Title cards- Create title cards for your two lines. You may create physical title cards on paper or digital title cards using your technology, as seen in the silent film example on the previous page. The digital title cards are only possible if you know how to do this or if someone can help you create them.
