What You Will Learn?

  • In this introduction tutorial I'm helping out amateurs who might be struggling to write their first screenplay or they have no idea what it is. We really key in on the basics of a screenplay such as where to put: Scene Headings, Action lines, Dialogue, Act Breaks, and Parenticials. There are a lot of screenwriters out there now and a way to have a leg up on them is to be doing what you are already doing. Watching videos, practising, and getting a teacher and not just reading a screenplay and trying to copy that. .
  • No prior experience is needed! We are learning the very basics of screenwriting. .
  • I recommend a writing program (there are free options) for the project and moving forward.  .
