This all-day working seminar will introduce writers to what they need to know to write a full-length screenplay. We will cover professional screenplay format, the proper definition of a scene, the crucial differences between cinematic and theatrical dialogue, and how to create compelling, three-dimensional and memorable characters, story structure, text and subtext, plot points, and cinematic pacing. Film clips will be shown and analyzed to illustrate these points. Writing and discussion is shared in a constructive and supportive environment. Estimated course material cost is $30.
