Straight Curve introduce a one day scriptwriting workshop for level two following on from our popular beginners workshop.
Our tutor Chris Knowles will take you through the following:
Preparation:
So you have your idea, now you need to find out how to turn it into a dramatic structure. Chris Knowles will demonstrate exactly that with the use of examples. He will also look at how to transform your idea into a working story by turning passive ideas into active ideas.
Structure:
When writing your script, find out how to use the elements of structure to advance your story.
Characters:
Taking your characters beyond the realm of the protagonist/antagonist axis and looking at ways that secondary and tertiary characters
can aid primary characters.
Dialogue:
Using dialogue as the cause and effect of action. How do you make this work?
Archetypes:
Outlining the primordial qualities that help define character and the relevance of deep character traits.
On Screen Design:
How the on screen world environment surrounding your characters, shapes the story and the character development.
Story identification:
What makes your story right for film rather then radio, TV or theatre? You will be looking at over-structure, under-structure
and the characters inward journey.
This one day workshop will be supported by mini exercises and film clips.
