Class Description

Description

For this class, a cohort of new screenwriters will each take their project from first idea to first revised draft. Along the way we will develop an understanding of the foundations of screenwriting: character, story, and structure. This will be aided by readings from professional screenplays. Finally, the completed first drafts will be workshopped by the class, providing guidance on where their writing can go next.

Materials List: Screenwriting software

For the First Class:

  • Acquire and familiarize yourself with a screenwriting software system. See some suggested options below; each has its pros and cons, so explore and see what feels best to you.

Final Draft – No free version

Fade In - Free version is watermarked

Highland - Free version is watermarked; Mac Only

WriterDuet - Free with limited number of scripts

Arc Studio Pro - Free with limited number of scripts

WriterSolo - Totally Free

Kit Scenarist - Totally Free

  • Finally, the instructor recommends reading this free formatting guide from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, if you are not familiar with the conventions of screenplays.
