Writers are submitting thousands of scripts a cycle to competitions and production executives. They all have the same format (you hope) and more than one will undoubtedly have the same idea as you. So how do you make your story stand out amid the sea of words?
By digging deep into key story elements, you can craft impactful narratives that will make readers take notice.
You will learn Key story elements such as:
• How vocabulary affects your tone
• Creating compelling character descriptions and introductions (there is a difference)
• The difference between overwriting and detail
• Utilizing format to make your script more readable
Screenwriting is the craft of creating for a visual medium, and your script is the only gateway to the world you’ve imagined. This workshop will provide strategies to make sure readers become invested in your characters and stay engaged in your story beyond the first five pages.
