This course will
show you, step-by-step, how to write script coverage. We will cover key
elements of screenwriting coverage, including writing a synopsis,
analyzing a script, writing an evaluation, script formatting, and
finding work as a reader. Whether you want to become a script
reader, a story analyst, or just want to polish up your own script, a
solid understanding of format and script structure will be essential.
Writers put on a different hat after a script is written: revising a
script is a different skill set than creating one.
Gain firsthand insight into what story analysts must look for when
reading a script and specifics as to what will prompt them to reject or
consider a project for production. You will also learn what movie
executives demand in a winning screenplay and how the story analyst’s
role fits into this scenario. By the end of this
workshop, you will receive a certification of completion of
this course to assist you in getting work as a story analyst.
