SUMMARY:"Mastering the Craft" Webinar Series
DESCRIPTION:A 4 – PART WEBINAR SERIES WITH SYD FIELD! \nDon’t miss this rare opportunity to study with Syd Field LIVE online! \nGenerations of screenwriters have used Syd Field’s bestselling books to ignite successful Hollywood careers. Principles of Storytelling Web Series with Syd Field features a deep exploration of screenwriting and illustrations from Academy Award-winning films.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to pose your own specific questions to the master himself! \nYou may choose which webinars you’d like to take\, or attend all four webinars at a special package rate. \nTopics include: \n  \nClass #1: Principles of Storytelling \nThey all begin the same way. “Once upon a time\, there was …” \nAnd? What happens then? \nThat’s what Syd explores in this brand new webinar course\, Principles of Storytelling. \nWhether writing and pitching a screenplay\, TV episode or documentary film\, whether fiction or non-fiction\, whether telling a bedtime story or presenting a newproject/proposal to your boss or Board of Directors\, knowing and understanding the Principles of Storytelling is absolutely essential. \nWhat makes a great story? \nIn this innovative and exciting session\, Syd explores the Principles of Storytelling by analyzing and discussing such Academy Award-winning films as Argo\, Witness\, The Descendants and other great films. By focusing on the CRAFT of storytelling\, he’ll illustrate the major principles of ALL storytelling: Plot\, Character and Structure. Who is the story about? What is it about? And\, what’s the problem that must be overcome? \nUnderstanding the basic principles of storytelling is essential to building and constructing a good story line with strong characters\, strong action and laced with dynamic tension and edge of the seat conflict. \n  \nClass #2: Writing Effective Dialogue \nWhat’s the purpose of dialogue? Does it move the story forward\, or does it reveal information about the character? Is your dialogue too “right on the nose” or “too direct?” Do your characters all sound the same? Are your minor characters more interesting than your main character? \nThis session explores the function of dialogue and illustrates the nine different types of dialogue found in movies like Juno\, Mr. & Mrs. Smith\, Little Miss Sunshine\, The Bucket List\, American Beauty\, and more. The purpose of the evening: to expand and broaden your awareness of dialogue and its function. \n  \nClass #3: Writing The Action Sequence \nGreat ACTION SEQUENCES just don’t happen; they’re carefully designed and written with style and creativity. Good action writing utilizes time\, location\, the unexpected\, the surrounding elements and whatever’s necessary to make the sequence work. \nWhat is the purpose of the action sequence and how do you design\, structure and write exciting action? In this innovative and brand new session\, Syd will break down some of the greatest action sequences of the last few decades and explore those stylistic elements that make them great! Where do you begin the sequence? What elements can you utilize within the sequence to keep the viewer keenly tuned on the edge of his/her seat? We’ll see some of the greatest action sequences ever filmed\, classic sequences like: Bullitt\, Terminator 2\, The Matrix\, The French Connection\, The Bourne Ultimatum\, Jurassic Park\, Pirates of the Caribbean\, and more. \n  \nClass #4: The 6 Stages of Rewriting \nYou’ve finished the first draft. Now what? Does it work or does it need more work? Do you need more action? Stronger characters? More tension? Are the stakes high enough? What can you do to make your first draft a better read? In this session we’ll begin by examining your original intention – what was it that originally attracted you to the idea? A character? A situation? An experience? In the first draft\, did you end up writing the story you originally intended to write? This evening is all about the Re-Write and the tools you can employ to make your intention equal your result. \n“PRINCIPLES OF STORYTELLING WEB SERIES” DETAILS \nHow To Sign Up: Register for the class\, or classes\, you’d like below.
