Class Description

This class is free and you do not need to pay or apply for a scholarship. Instead, to join this class fill out This Form. DO NOT use any of the other buttons or links to apply to this class.

Do you have an idea for a feature length screenplay, but you aren't sure how to begin? This class is a great place to start! In this introductory workshop, we will start with idea generation and then move to structure, format, and a discussion of software and online resources to begin your script. From there, we will study scenes, feature length plot structure, and will eventually write the first 10 pages of your feature length script! This class is meant to be for beginners, but writers of all levels of experience are welcome!

Introducción a la escritura de guiones

Bilingüe

6 jueves de 2:30pm-4:30pm EST empezando el 2 de marzo hasta el 5 de abril

¿Tienes una idea para un guión de largometraje sin saber cómo empezar? ¡Esta clase es el perfecto punto de partida! En este taller introductorio, primero generaremos una lista de ideas y luego nos centraremos en la estructura y el formato de los guiones, además de examinar los software y otros recursos virtuales para comenzar a escribir. De allí, estudiaremos las escenas y la estructura de la trama cinemática; culminaremos escribiendo las primeras 10 páginas de su guión. Aunque esta clase esté destinada para principiantes, escritores de cualquier nivel están invitados a participar.

Zoom Participation:

In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.

Zoom Accessibility:

You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
