DEVELOPMENT TOOLS 1-DAY COURSE – CHARACTER, STORY & STRUCTURE

 

A practical overview of story structure that introduces participants to an analytical approach to story development which they can then use to develop and write more effective scripts. Participants learn how to identify the main character in a screenplay, develop compelling characters, and use character development to create and clarify screenplay structure. A film is analysed in detail to illustrate the approach, and the skills and tools learnt.

 

Participants wishing to attend must watch Little Miss Sunshine before the workshop

 

Open to residents in the North West only. This is a precursor course to further sessions being held over the next year:

 

·         DEVELOPMENT TOOLS - 3-day character, story and structure workshop, 29th October – 1st November  2010 (tbc)

·         GENRE TOOLS - 3-day genre and genre hybrid workshop, 25th- 28th March 2011 (tbc)

Both of which will require application.
