Topic: The Second Ten Lines Contest Starts Now! [CLOSED]
This contest has ended. Check out the results here!
Here's the original description of the contest from the original thread:
This is a very wide-open contest that sort of focuses on script writing. It's meant as a nice activity while many of us take our winter/Christmas breaks.
I had no idea that the original contest had been during Winter Break when I posted the introduction thread for this! It was mere luck that we decided to have it during this time.
Here's the rules. There's some new rules, as well. Some are slightly edited from the introduction thread, so please make sure to read these.
1. You may choose ten lines from our list of thirty lines. If you're crazy enough to do so, you may use more than ten.
2. You may write your script any way that you like, just as long as you include the lines listed in their original form. Do not change the lines in any way.
3. If your first language is something other than English, you may translate the lines into your own language and you can have them in your own language in your film. As long as you have subtitles, written
in understandable English, it is fine.
4. While the original contest did not allow for illegal material (copyrighted music, etc.), we will allow you to use copyrighted material IF you credit the person who made it.
5. NO extreme violence, profanity or sexual references. Mild violence and words like "crap", "hell" and "damn" are okay.
====
Below you will find a list of lines. You are required to choose no less than 10 of them for inclusion in your script. The lines must be either spoken or written whole, uninterrupted and in their entirety during your film.
