Description
If you're trying to make sense of what style of formatting goes into a screenplay, especially the important Spec Script (Speculative Screenplay), because EVERY screenplay you read looks different, this comprehensive and up-to-date Screenwriting Masterclass is for you!Taking a holistic approach to the art of screenwriting builds confidence, because it informs you of what your work looks like to other film professionals. This industry can be a confusing labyrinth of misinformation and constant "rule" changes. I'm here to help you master the grey areas of screenwriting industry formatting, and much more.Like a drummer who holds the beat for an audio track, the screenwriter is in the background of the film industry with a crucial job to do. Screenwriters are team players, and screen industry professionals depend on them to keep the show alive and propel other crew members into full production mode.It is important for a screenwriter to let other creatives do their job, and not be overly consumed with detailed instructions of how a screenplay should be technically filmed. A screenwriter is a visionary who needs to trust the process of industry screenplay formatting standards, including areas of choice rather than "must".When I started film school as a student many years ago, I wrote screenplays just like the novels I wrote. Explaining this and that without considering the tools in front of me in the screenwriting software, and not using them to my advantage to enhance the script reading experience.My lecturer used my work as an example of what NOT to do in class, but that quickly changed when I squeezed out all the misinformation that was floating around in this industry (and my head). I was given top marks for my new performance, once I realised that I was only one part of the storytelling ensemble.This was one of my first lessons in becoming aware of screenwriting disciplines, as compared to writing novels.It is only natural that screenwriters begin their journey by drumming to their own beat. Eventually, we realise that the style is not recognised in the film industry, nor is it respected or appreciated amongst the stakeholders.In this screenwriting masterclass, you'll learn more than formatting standards. Hopefully, you'll discover something about yourself and the creative visionary that lives inside you. The one who deserves to be heard and taken seriously.By the end of this screenwriting course:You will confidently move forward in screenplay formatting styleYou will distinguish the differences between a fictional work and an actual documentaryYou will utilise the tools in screenwriting software for a faster and more productive workflowYou will have the ability to work within the discipline of Industry Screenplay StandardsYou will have the confidence to tackle other areas of screenwriting formatting stylesYou will know what documentation is required for pitchingYou will be able to start writing a Pilot Episode for a SeriesYou will find the best fit for your creative style and much more!
