Tried to write the Process...Feel at home to criticize and correct. I'd appreciate if you could also take a look at the sites and check their quality, also add or change some of them.Here it goes,

PROCESS PART 1: Learning about cinema.

Do you like cinema?
Do you have any idea how the film industry works?
Everything that needs to be done before the film is ready for you to watch?
Time to learn about it: its history, importance , jobs related etc.

Things you have to think about:

How are books adapted to films?
What is a film script?
What is a film trailer?

Access the sites below to get some information and have a nice trip into the cinema world!

PROCESS PART 2

You’re going to work in groups of 3, so team up with your colleagues and discuss about what you have read.
You have to adapt a novel to a film script, so you should now decide upon which novel you are going to write about. Of course the novel must be or must have been read by all of you. The sites below will not only help you to decide which novel to choose but will also help you to do what you probably have never done before: write a script.

http://www.screenwriting.info/
http://www.filmscriptwriting.com/
http://cinemaroll.com/
http://www.writing-world.com/


Now it’s time to pull up the sleeves. Are you ready?
Here’s your task division:

_ One of you is going to write the script dialogues
_ another will be in charge of the settings in the script: set the stage
_ the other will create/ produce the trailer that the 3 of you will present to the class.

Remember: your roles are totally connected, so, each one of you need the others’ work to complete the task successfully. So, search, discuss, debate!
