How it works:

Students must submit scripts prior to beginning the course for approval. Each student will receive individual comments with concrete, actionable notes vis-a-vis storyline, structure and technical improvements. Scene writing will be explored on various levels to provide tools for creating dynamic stories. Students will analyze their own work, receive constructive feedback, and learn how to rewrite to improve character development, rhythm, pace, and dialogue. There will be a keen emphasis on enhancing the script’s forward motion, the momentum that keeps readers hooked.
Course Time Frame: Four sessions over two consecutive weekends.

Students May Expect to:

  • Gain a richer understanding of story premise, structure, character, and dialog
  • Understand script changes as they apply to budget and target audience
  • Understand what changes need to be made in order to effectively shop your project
  • Receive feedback on your scenes including an examination of tension, conflict, motivation, exposition and subtext
  • Read excerpts from select produced scripts and compare and analyze development changes on shooting scripts.
