If you are writing a feature film screenplay or TV pilot and you haven’t done an outline, you are making life harder for yourself in multiple ways. You’re also decreasing the chances your script will ever be noticed by the industry.
Outlines are arguably one of the most important aspects of screenwriting, and also one of the most under valued. Anyone who reads scripts for their job (agents, managers, producers, script competition judges) can tell if a writer has completed a solid outline within the first fifteen pages of their script. The differences are that obvious, and that significant.
This live webinar will explore why an outline matters so much, what risks you take by not diving into one, and offer helpful tips and advice on making the most of the time you spend prior to launching into ‘page one’. You will leave this webinar empowered to explore your idea in whatever outline format suits you best. You will gain an appreciation for the outline, you will write better outlines, which will lead to better scripts, immediately.
An architect doesn’t build a house without a blueprint, so why would someone hoping to work at the very top of the industry try to write a script without an outline? Join us, and polish your screenplay blueprint skills.
This live webinar will be interactive, with plenty of time for questions and answers.
