From Loglines to Beat sheets
As screenwriters, we not only need to know how to write a script, we also have to be able to convey our stories in multiple other ways. From elevator pitches to development meetings to conference calls with talent, our ability to share stories in a variety of narrative forms is both a valuable and necessary skill set.
Beyond that, every time we shape a story in a different way, we learn something more about it. As such, summaries can be helpful tools in developing, understanding, and crafting our scripts.
In my upcoming 1-week online class Story Summaries: From Loglines to Beat Sheets, we will explore 6 different types of story summaries:
- Logline
- Synopsis
- Breakdown
- Treatment
- Scriptment
- Beat sheet
Learn the ins and outs of six different story summaries, and how they are applicable to the craft of screenwriting.
