ADVANCED PLOT CONSTRUCTION FOR SCREENWRITERS & TV WRITERS

Description

Top Hollywood screenwriting teacher Jeff Kitchen, author of Writing a Great Movie: Key Tools for Successful Screenwriting, whose students have been nominated for multiple Oscars and Emmys, trains you in a powerful 3-step process for plot construction and story development.

You will learn by working with Jeff to build a real story

Learn how to dramatize your story in any genre, working with reverse cause and effect and riveting conflict to keep the audience on the edge of their seats. Engineer your script properly before you write it, making the structure of your overall story tight and dramatic, then do the same for each act, for each sequence, and for each scene, enabling you to write a solid first draft that requires a minimum of rewrites.

Jeff trains you how to separate the necessary from the unnecessary, direct the audience sympathy, turn mere narrative into dramatic action, give each scene a clear objective, work from the general to the particular and gradually layer in detail as it's needed, work with audience demand, keep the action moving forward, make your story actable and consistently gripping to the audience, and construct your plot with the habits of mind of a trained dramatist.

You'll be trained in the groundbreaking tool called Sequence, Proposition, Plot that Jeff has taught to story executives at all the major Hollywood studios--and they consistently say it's the most advanced plot construction and story development tool in the film industry.
