ALL
Summary:
Chelsea will look at all aspects of your script, including Character, Dialogue, Structure, Plot, Story, and Theme. A story starts with character, and that’s where she will begin assessing your script. Well-formed characters require a satisfying arc along with their own personal transformation, and the story itself should aim to be a comment on the human condition. Chelsea can guide you towards a solid structure and a clear narrative with your script. As much as there is a “template” to screenplays, it is also important that your own brand of storytelling shines through. We come to rely on well-known script structures, but a unique voice is also key. This online course actively encourages sharing of your work with your cohort as well as with the tutor.
