Scripwriting 101 with Greg Woodland
In this workshop for aspiring screenwriters, writer/director and founder of Script Central, Greg Woodland, will lead you through these essential elements of a successful script:
- Genre and tone: what kind of movie am I writing? Audience expectations.
- Building Characters. Character vs characterization.
- the 3-Act structure. Key plot points
- Conflict - there's no drama without it.
- Finding your premise and theme - what's it all about, really?
- The cherry on top: Dialogue - text and subtext.
- Standard script formatting - (who cares what it looks like if it's a great story?!)
- Outlining your story. The low-tech solution: index cards
- Screenwriting IS Rewriting (Don't hate the rewrites - Dealing with feedback.)
