Free Screenwriting Resource: Script Reading & Analysis
On a semi-regular basis, we will take up a movie script and spend a week breaking it down at several levels of analysis: General Background, Structure, Characters, Theme, and Dialogue. Sometimes we even watch the movie simultaneously around the world, then tweet about it live, what we have come to call a TweetCast.
This series speaks to the importance of reading scripts and watching movies. Here are a couple of examples of the type of analysis we get into in this series:
Gladiator [Action]
Michael Clayton [Drama]
I am thinking we need to bring this back on a more regular basis, perhaps monthly… because if you are not reading movie scripts, then you are missing out on one of the best ways to go to film school on the cheap.
Go here for the link to dozens of movies we have studied in the Go Into The Story Script Reading & Analysis series.

Each day in August, I’m going to highlight a screenwriting resource available on the blog. Why? Because with over 15,000 posts and 70+ archive topics, I want to make sure readers are aware of the many, many assets available here for reading and research. And they are all free!
