In the first half of the day, you'll develop your story or series premise, write a basic and advanced story sentence, and sharpen the main plot and character arcs and the underlying subtext.
You'll learn to define the essence of a story, explore the crucial differences between the inner and outer stories, and how they interrelate to help you enrich the themes of your script and solve typical problems with endings.
In the second half, we'll help you take this short outline and show you how to write to the best of your ability. We'll help you sharpen the plot, improve your choice of words and sentence structure and deepen the meaning. We'll look at how you add detail without losing the overall flow and energy.
We'll define the different kinds of treatments, outlines and synopses that you will need to provide potential collaborators and sources of finance and teach you some simple techniques for growing your synopsis into longer and longer treatments from 1 to 20 pages long, as required.
You'll leave with the foundations of a flowing, exciting, attractive treatment that does full justice to the story or series that you want to create.
