Start plotting your
premise
|
|
|
The most intelligent
and intriguing premise in the world is only that—just a premise—until it’s
been given a shape that draws an audience in and keeps its attention and
investment. Until it’s given a protagonist through which the audience
understands the premise in concrete terms, and feels the clearly-defined
stakes, someone with whom they can identify and for whom they can cheer. In
other words, until the premise has become a story.
This course will examine plotting a screenplay from premise to story. You'll
learn how to take your screenplay from the early stages of building idea into
a full story to structuring the story to keep tension and investment high in
the audience to considering how to build not only structure but texture in
the world of your film—how to build an experience of the world, what the
events and the world of the story mean for characters and audience alike, not
just building up point-by-point plot.
