90-Minute Workshop
Did you know you need to have your story completely written out before you start your screenplay? Did you know you have to make sure it works before you do your screenplay? Yikes.
This 90-minute class will be a whizz-bang overlook at the art of the screenplay. I will lean heavily on the three-act plot structure as a screenplay is ALL ABOUT STRUCTURE. We will cruise by logline, plots, characters, and subplots based on your characters, plot points, dialogue, your theme and style. You’ll learn the screenplay paradigm, the midpoint, and the importance of an ending that creates irony. Since irony can only be created by a strong beginning that is the opposite of where your main character ends up, there’s fun and a lot of creativity in between.
