Screenwriting:
Write Your First Draft Fast (9009)
FADE IN: "Formula" marathons for writing often yield
an unsatisfying script. Pour a cup of java and let's make writing
fast mesh with writing quality. We cover: 1) making a script effective
from the start; 2) developing story structure; 3) deepening characterization;
4) enriching scenes; 5) discovering the secrets of middles; 6)
finding endings with fast finish techniques.
Level
I features optional, basic-level exercises, $175;
Level III Be-A-Pro & Script Critique, includes feedback on
all exercises and a critique of your finished draft, $375.
SPECIAL BENEFIT OF THIS COURSE: All levels give you a professional
mentor who won't disappear after you finish the workshop. Create
dynamic stories all the way to FADE OUT.
Work at your own pace. Noncredit.
Sponsored by UW-Madison Liberal Studies & the Arts.
