Time To Write A Horror Film

During today's lesson we worked on screenplay writing. As a class we chose to write a horror film because we all seemed to have this idea that they are easy to come up with - after today I no longer believe that. Having had no screenplay writing experience this was a challenge. Park Hay and I tried to create a story that was interesting but not cliché, and after a lot of over-analyzation ended up confusing ourselves. Although the formula was simple, I had a hard time deciding on what information was useful to the outline of the whole film to what was an irrelevant detail. I think I focused to much on coming up with something different, rather than learning how to actual use the formula and the program to my advantage.
