Go On Your Own Quest — Week 14: Prep
The 2013 version of The Quest starts Week 14 today. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by because you can Go On Your Own Quest by following the structure of The Quest to dig into screenwriting theory [Core — 8 weeks], figure out your story [Prep — 6 weeks], and write a first draft [Pages — 10 weeks]. It’s a 24-week immersion in the screenwriting process and you can do it here — for free!
Plus you can join The Black Board, the Official Online Writing Community of the Black List and Go Into The Story, another free resource to help keep you inspired and on target at you Go On Your Own Quest from FADE IN to FADE OUT on the first draft of your original screenplay.
We are now in our sixth and last week of the Prep phase, so the writers in The Quest are pulling together their outlines and preparing themselves psychologically to type FADE IN. We began Monday with this question: Do each of your scenes transition smoothly, one to another? For the discussion, go here. Yesterday’s question: Have you figured out entertaining ways to introduce your key characters? Discussion here. Today’s question:
* Do you have any scenes that will make great movie trailer moments?
On October 21, you can type FADE IN, then over a ten week period write your first draft.
Why not use the structure of this 24-week workshop to Go On Your Own Quest? That was an idea that gathered energy among many members of the GITS community which I described here.
Meanwhile I encourage you to head to comments to discuss today’s question. And for a related discussion on The Black Board, check out these topics:
