This course will show you, step-by-step, how to write script coverage. We will cover key elements of screenwriting coverage, including writing a synopsis, analyzing a script, writing an evaluation, script formatting, and finding work as a reader. Whether you want to become a script reader, a story analyst, or just want to polish up your own script, a solid understanding of format and script structure will be essential. Writers put on a different hat after a script is written: revising a script is a different skill set than creating one.
Gain firsthand insight into what story analysts must look for when reading a script and specifics as to what will prompt them to reject or consider a project for production. You will also learn what movie executives demand in a winning screenplay and how the story analyst’s role fits into this scenario. By the end of this course, you will receive a certification of completion of this course to assist you in getting work as a story analyst.
