All great films and TV series start with a great idea. A premise. A thought. A hook. A visual. A character you’d love to write.
But how do you get from that great kernel of a concept to a vibrant and sellable script? How do you know if your idea is actually strong enough to BE a movie? And how do you distinguish which ideas are worth working on and which to cast aside?
In this Webinar, we will go through exercises that will help you examine your ideas, concepts and characters and develop them into more fleshed out stories. We will look at the driving forces of story including character, conflict, hook, stakes, and voice to make sure you’re writing the best version of your story, and that it’s the right story for YOU to tackle.
We will look at the If/Then paradigm of brainstorming and how your outline, plotting and even logline process can help keep your story on its best track. And we’ll go over how executives evaluate concepts to know if they are sellable, visual, and compelling enough to be viable.
As a development executive and script consultant, I have spent over a decade helping writers and producers develop their ideas into sellable scripts. And having taken over 3,000 pitches, I can help show you how to develop that story instinct to turn your big ideas into big opportunity.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
- How to examine and develop your story ideas and original hooks into fleshed out, viable stories.
- Ways to recognize if your idea is really a movie (or TV series) and the ability to recognize when it’s not.
