Описание: Join pro screenwriter Conor Kyle for free #Screenwriting classes on Discord:   / discord  

This class provides an overview of the intensive 8-week script bootcamp and and prepares students for writing the first draft of a complete feature film screenplay.

Bring up to 3 loglines / brand new script ideas! Conor is requesting that students use newer, fresher ideas, and stay away from the magnum opuses you’ve been working on or thinking about for years.

The intention behind this bootcamp is not for you to write a perfect script, but instead to teach you the organization skills, discipline, and craft techniques that will set you on the path to becoming a professional screenwriter.

The 8-week bootcamp starts April 22 and continues weekly through June 10. Conor takes you from a blank page to the first draft of a complete feature screenplay, walking you through the entire process of conceiving, outlining, and writing a 90-120 page script.

8-Week Feature Script Bootcamp course schedule:

Week 1: Why this story? (April 22)
Now that you’ve narrowed down your high-concept idea, we will ask the simple questions: why this story? Why now? What is both timely and universal in your idea? We will begin to chisel away at the central dramatic question of your script, and design a plan to explore this theme from all angles. You’ll refine and polish your story’s premise, and begin the process of outlining.

Week 2: Outlining I – Story Beats (April 29)
Now that you’ve selected your feature idea, we’ll look at the key building blocks of your story. Chiefly: how to structure and place key scenes, and begin to establish connective tissue between them.

Week 3: Outlining II – Scene Cards (May 6)
Time to organize your ideas into a much more detailed outline. These “scene cards” will each feature a key moment of your story, and you’ll organize your brainstormed sketches into a cohesive, page-by-page plan for your upcoming feature.

Week 4: Beginnings (May 13)
It’s time to get going on your feature! This class will feature a both a FAQ / troubleshooting session (where we address and fill holes in your outlines before you begin) and a lecture on first acts: everything from opening image to the act break. From this class on, you’ll have to write a few pages a day to keep up with the benchmarks and get optimal feedback on your script.

Week 5: Transitions (May 20)
You’ve finished the first 20-30 pages of your script, so this class focuses on your first act break. How do we diagnose whether we’ve done everything we need to do in act one? We’ll heavily emphasize a propulsive boost into the “fun and games” of your script’s second act, balancing B-stories, and more.

Week 6: Act 2 A (May 27)
This class follows us into the deep dark woods of your script: the second act. We’ll go over the creation of sequences and setpieces, and review how to find the fun in your premise and mine its full potential.

Week 7: Act 2 B (June 3)
Many newer writers begin to falter or repeat themselves in this section of a script, so we’ll focus on keeping up the energy and narrative push, as well as beginning to answer questions and pay off setups from earlier in the script. Danger and tension must ramp up significantly in this section, and we’ll make sure our scripts are doing just that.

Week 8: Endings (June 10)
In our eighth and final week, we will work through the difficult final act of your script. How do we conclude subplots? How can we leave the reader feeling satisfied with the ideal “unexpected yet inevitable” conclusion?
