What to Do Click on or Paste the following URL into your address bar.

[]

To begin, you have to create an account. You should experiment with Xtranormal. It is easy to use. You can,

· select the background · select two characters (actors) · add a sound track · direct the action by controlling the options on the left hand menu.

Next you must write your script. Since you only have two actors, and they cannot really move about, the script must focus on the dialogue between the two characters. You may choose to write a dramatic or a comical script. Or you may choose to do an interview. Regardless of your choice your script must be written in correct script form, and it will be submitted to me.

The following is an example of a script format:

 MAN: Excuse me I'm in a hurry.  LOWRY: Hey, why don't you watch where you're going you. I tell you Casey; sometimes I think they need traffic lights on the sidewalk, too. You okay?
