Playwriting 101: This is not a movie

Welcome to Playwriting 101 with Julia Fisher! Today we'll be talking about the differences between writing a play and writing a movie.

Hi, Julia, I am an High school student from NYC and this helped me so much writing my play for my class, my teacher recommended all of your Playwriting 101 videos to help create my scene. Thank you so much for helping me create my best scene!

Hi, Robby! Thank you for watching and commenting! I'm so glad you've found these videos helpful in creating your scene. :) Happy writing!

[@nancydesjourdy4972]

Thank you! This is so useful for me as a high school teacher! You are clear, concise and give pertinent tips! :)

Rules to abide by - 1. 2-3 characters, or make sure the audience is getting enough time to get to know the characters, or the empathy is good enough. 2. Please dont have a narrator..or atleast try. 3. make sure that the setting changes are not quick or jarring..only when necessary 4. time lapses should be reasonable.

Julia, you are a saint/angel. I'm watching your 10 plays. Listening to them helps as I rewrite my piece. Thank you so much. All the best wishes to you! Hope you will continue all the awesome things you do on youtube!

I can't help but wonder- how many young people will receive inspiration for future success, from this amazingly, humble, seasoned instructor! ( ***** star rating)

Thank you. It would have been nice to have seen a sample of the script so that we know how to put what you have said on paper. Having said that, some great tips.

[@shamimobuyagard978]

Hello Julia I want to start writing plays but I would really need some help

[@heartsalive3157]

I liked Pericles.

[@emmalynbaltar7004]

I hope you can help me teaching theater in the Philippines ☺ I don't have enough reference when it comes to the field.

[@jeremyhennessee6604]

Emmalyn, Read/Study/Analyze The Greats. Tennessee Williams, Arthur Miller, Eugene O'Neill are very good starting points.
