INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Write in plain, succinct language that any audience can understand. In order to sell your screenplay, your reader must first understand what your plot is about. If you use jargon or flowery language, your reader probably won't bother going past the first few paragraphs. If you pad your synopsis with unnecessary adjectives or adverbs, it's no longer a synopsis. Stay brief, and you'll be one step closer to your goal. Ask them to look for errors in spelling, grammar, and any information that isn't clear to them. This could be a friend, family member, or colleague. If they have any questions or if something isn't clear to them, change your synopsis to make the story clearer. If your reader finds something in your synopsis that's unclear or confusing, they won't request your full screenplay. Many organizations you may submit your synopsis to publish submission guidelines. Change your synopsis, if necessary, to fit those guidelines. The agent, movie studio, or other reader will likely request changes to fit established word counts or page counts. Follow those suggestions exactly if you want your synopsis to pass the next round.

SUMMARY: Avoid extravagant language. Give your synopsis to other people to proofread. Prepare to make edits.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you assemble the back-drop, measure its length and width. Mark the dimensions of the back-drop with a light pencil mark, chalk, or a piece of tape. The back-drop may be as large or as small as you'd likeit will really depend on the space you're using and how you intend to capture the back-drop on camera. Ask yourself the following questions: Do you want to take full-body shots or will the pictures be from the waist up? How tall are your guests? How many guests do you want in one picture? Stretch a piece of masking tapesticky side outalong the top edge of your back-drop from corner to corner. To secure the tape to the wall, cover each end with a piece of masking tape. The streamers will hang from the sticky side of the tape. Attach streamers to the masking tape from left to right. Roll out each streamer to the desired length and cut it in a straight line. As you move from one corner of the back-drop to the other, layer the streamers slightly and vary the colors. Don't worry about cutting every streamer to the same length. You will trim them later. Place pieces of rolled masking tape along the top edge of the back-drop. Roll a single streamer along the top edge of the back-drop in a straight line. Cover the two small vertical pieces of tape on each end in the same manner. This will give the top of your back-drop a clean, crisp edge. Stretch a piece of masking tapesticky side inacross the bottom edge of your back-drop. Attach each end of the tape directly to the wall. This piece of tape will prevent your streamers from moving. If you want the streamers to move with the breeze, don't tape the streamers to the wall. This will provide you with a less structured, and perhaps more whimsical backdrop. With a pair of scissors, carefully trim each streamer near the bottom edge of the tape. You will cover the bottom with a streamer, so don't worry about trimming each streamer perfectly. Stick several pieces of rolled masking tape along the bottom edge of your back-drop. Roll a single streamer along the taped edge in a straight line. When the backdrop is done, you will have a solid rectangle or square of crepe paper to pose in front of. You can add two small vertical streamers to each corner so that it matches the top.

SUMMARY: Determine the dimensions of your back-drop. Attach a piece of masking tapesticky side outto the wall. Stick streamers onto the tape. Cover the top edge with a piece of crepe paper. Tape the bottom of the streamers to the wall. Trim the streamers just below the edge of the tape. Cover the bottom edge with a piece of crepe paper.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Transfer the parboiled rice to the seasoned vegetables and stir the mixture until it's combined. The rice should turn a little yellow once it's mixed with the seasonings. Pour 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of vegetable oil over the rice and stir it to coat the rice. Continue to stir the rice as it cooks over medium heat. The rice will finish cooking and absorb the flavors of the vegetables. For crispier rice, fry the rice in batches so the skillet isn't crowded. Add cup (165 g) of smoked prawns or crayfish and stir it into the rice. Taste the Nigerian fried rice and add salt according to your taste. If the rice is still too hard, add 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water or broth and cook the rice over medium heat until it's as soft as you like. If you want to adjust the flavor of the rice, stir in more ground crayfish, curry, or ground pepper. Turn off the burner and serve the hot rice with fried chicken, grilled chicken, sauteed shrimp, or grilled beef. Garnish the dish with chopped scallions. Store the leftover Nigerian fried rice within 2 hours of making it. Refrigerate the rice in an airtight container for 5 to 7 days.

SUMMARY:
Stir the rice into the skillet. Drizzle in oil and fry the rice for 2 minutes. Stir in the smoked prawns and adjust the seasonings. Serve the Nigerian fried rice with protein.
