It will be based on the traditional 3-act structure which is used in all drama, comedy and feature films. You will be taken through the process of formulating believable and interesting characters, how to focus your screenplay on clear goals for your protagonist and the importance of creating challenging and equal antagonists. We will cover a short 3 to 5-page outline and a 10 to 15-page treatment that will be the blueprint for your first screenplay.
