I wrote a blog post last year about
marketing lessons from screenwriting class
. Since published, it has become one of my most popular posts. Today, I
am going to take you through the classroom exercise my instructor took us through. First, read the script below. What do you think of it? Next, click on the link to go watch the movie clip. Finally, read the lesson at the end.
Her
It’s nice out here. Let’s not go out for dinner. Let’s stay here.
Him
We have to eat.
Her
We can eat here. I’ll cook.
Him
I thought you didn’t like to cook.
Her
No, I don’t like to cook.
But I have a chicken in the icebox, and you’re eating it.
Him
What about all the washing up afterward?
Her
We’ll eat it with our fingers.
Him
Don’t we need any plates?
Her
Yes. One for you and one for me.
Him
Mind if I have dinner with you tonight?
Her
I’d be delighted.
Now, go see the clip from the movie. (sorry for the commercial at the beginning):
