What You Will Learn?
- Have you ever tried to write a screenplay but ended up looking at an empty page? Or maybe you began writing but got stuck in the process. Learn to structure your story with Frank Daniel’s sequence approach and forget about wasting your time with writer’s block ever again..
- Join me in this class, where I’ll break down the screenplay of "Arrival" to show you how to write action driven films. With the methods taught in this class, you’re always going to be able to take a step back and see where you are in the story. I use these methods myself to write my own movies..
- Easy-to-follow lessons include:.
- Plus, join Piotr as he analyzes the screenplay of Joker while sharing his directors' perspective on all the interesting things he discovered, like the scenes that never made it into the final cut of the movie..
- Any student at any level on their script writing journey can learn from this class. While more experienced screenwriters will benefit from my method of outlining the story, this class was developed with beginners in mind. Even if you haven’t heard about 3 acts, plot/character driven stories, I got you covered by quickly explaining these basic definitions. .
- ----------.
- Who am I?.
- My name is Piotr - I'm a screenwriter and director working in Poland, and recently on the side I started consulting screenplays of other writers to help them perfect their stories. I noticed that the best way to make a point is to show them practically how it was done in another movie. I teach mainly by giving examples of practical applications. I've prepared this extensive series of Skillshare classes to share my knowledge in the realm of making cinema and hopefully help you with writing your story, so it’s produced and made into a movie..
