Скачать или смотреть LIVE - SCREENWRITING AMA: “What Is Screenplay Structure?”

Is “structure” the most important part of screenwriting? Is it the secret, does it solves everything, can you learn it? I’ll do everything I can to demythologize “screenplay structure” for you today. This will be both liberating and terrifying. Sorry.

Helpful videos on my channel for structuring your script:
Think In Scenes -    • Screenwriting Essentials: THINK IN SCENES  
The 6 Essential Questions -    • Storytelling: 6 Essential Questions  
Why Outline? -    • Why Outline?  
How To Outline -    • How To Outline  

After that, I’ll rant a bit about where I think this mythology came from.

And here’s a link to an good academic summary of the roots of our structure mythology - “Classical Screenplay Structure” from the SCREENPLAYOLOGY website: https://www.screenplayology.com/conte...

WE ALSO TALK ABOUT:
How do you develop a script from an idea? What do you start with?
Why do I write? What feeling pushes me to write, and what am I aiming for when I do?
If I have a great idea for a story but don’t know how to tell it, isn’t it good to follow a formula?
Is it okay to rewrite a great but obscure show and set in in a different world, keeping the emotional dynamics but transforming it?

And I Refer to these videos on my channel:
Take Art Apart -    • Take Art Apart  

In these ASK ME (ALMOST) ANYTHING livestreams. I try to tell you what I know, learned about the art, craft & biz during a 25-year career writing for movies & TV.
