Master Class Screenwriting

January 7^th to March 24, 2012
Saturday 2:00-4:30
With Wendy Hill-Tout
FILM STRUCTURE CLASS 1

STRUCTURE IS THE ESSENCE OF SCREENWRITING AND THE FUNDAMENTAL TOOL IN A GOOD SCREENPLAY.   BUILDING THE CLOTHESLINE TO HANG YOUR SCREENPLAY ON IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES, BUT ALSO THE MOST REWARDING WHEN YOU GET IT RIGHT.  IT WILL SAVE YOU INNUMERABLE DRAFTS, GIVE YOU A SKELETON TO BUILD FROM, AND ENSURE YOUR CHARACTERS HAVE STRONG INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL GOALS AND THAT THEIR DESIRES AND PASSIONS ARE THE CENTRE OF YOUR SCREENPLAY.

 Structure encompasses, external action, inner and outer character goals and arcs, thematic structure, A & B subplots or multiple subplots and visual images/ metaphors structured into your screenplay.  It is the layers of the screenplay that give the screenplay depth, but it starts first with laying the groundwork of the main external A structure and character goals and arcs. 

Participants will study screenplay structure, character, use of theme, visual imagery, BEAT outlines and major turning points and complete exercises online.  Part of the class will be independent work which the participants will hand in or email to me for comments and discussion. 

This is a working class designed for writers, screenwriters, directors, playwrights, actors and film buffs using actual films and screenplays for study.  It will also include discussion of marketing, how to get an agent and selling a screenplay.

 $690.00 – 8 Classes plus 1-on-1 online feedback based on completed assignments

For an Additional $100.00 those with completed manuscripts and screenplays they will be read by Wendy with feedback provided
