What You Will Learn?

  • In this class students will learn all about how to start the process of writing a screenplay. It sounds simple but it's quite a tall task to actually sit down and write one. Finding the subject, or what your screenplay is about is a tall order. We also focus on form vs function. When is a script too formulaic and where can we push boundaries. .
  • You can apply these skills learned today to go out and write your very own screenplay. .
  • No prior experience is required and after watching all 10 videos you should have a strong base for creating your own screenplay. .
  • You can use a free screenwriting software such as celtx.com or trelby.org .
