Courses Starting This Week:
Proper Formatting Technique:
Script Format Made Easy
Instructor:
Dave Trottier
Let Dave Trottier (Dr. Format himself) show you the
necessary techniques and currently accepted standards that
will set your script apart from the heap. Not only will he
teach you the rules of script formatting, he will show you
when and how to break them. By applying Dave’s formatting
techniques, you will write more compelling description and
sharper dialogue.
Story Development and Outlining
Instructor: George
Yanok
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.
How To Write Based On A True
Story
Instructor:
Paul Peditto
Ready to write your version of a true story? In this
workshop, you will go through the step by step process of
building your screenplay from the foundation of a true
story.
Writing the
Sci-Fi/Fantasy Screenplay
Instructor:
Neal Stevens
Science Fiction/Fantasy films push the boundaries of the
imagination to another realm where anything in this
world—other worlds, or even the entire universe—can exist.
Your goal as the writer is to go beyond derivative.
Register now and Neal Steven will show you what you need to
create structure, characters, and stories within this
exciting, non-stereotypical genre!
Professional Playwriting:
Genre, Character, and Voice
Instructor:
Paul Peditto
You’ve written a play or two, maybe three, four or more.
You know how to write a scene with a beginning, middle and
end, and an understanding of character and dialogue. But
you wish to level up your game, expand your horizons and
take playwriting to the next level. This means sharpening
the tools of the trade, exploring the diversity of
performance choices for the stage and developing an
awareness of how you can best use theatre and playwriting
to serve your individual voice.
Four Weeks to Your Sitcom Pilot
Instructor:
George Yanok
n the real world of TV production, creative group sessions
can be both daunting and invaluable to the finished
product. This class will attempt to replicate that
experience. And you will finish the workshop with a
complete draft of a 30 minute sitcom script.
