There’s never been a better time to start a career as a screenwriter. With technological breakthroughs bringing the cost of making and distributing movies down to almost nothing, there is an ever-increasing demand for great scripts-and for people who can write them. Whether you want to write micro-budget indie films or Hollywood blockbusters, this course will teach you everything you need to know to write a script that sells. You will learn the fundamentals of stories-why audiences need them, what they expect from them, and what kinds of stories work time after time. You’ll discover how to create characters audiences connect with and how to write dialogue that will bring them to life. You will get hands-on experience through a series of short writing assignments that will have you working like a pro from the very beginning of the course. In addition, you’ll get an inside look into the business of selling your script and building your career as a writer. When you finish the course, you’ll be ready to start writing your own script!
