One of the most exciting new discoveries about the human brain is that it is "hard-wired" to recognize stories structured in a certain way. This is why the most successful movies of all time "accidentally" share a large number of common story elements.
Wouldn't it energize your writing if these common story elements were laid out for you in an entertaining and enlightening seminar that would CHANGE THE WAY YOU WRITE FOREVER?
Now, they are! Welcome to the TotallyWrite 3-Hour Screenwriting Crash Course.
Recorded at the LIVE at one of his seminars, successful screenwriter/director/producer Jeffrey Alan Schechter demystifies the common structure of all well-crafted screenplays -- the common structure the human mind is engineered to recognize -- and shows you how you can use this structure in your own writing.
The TotallyWrite way of writing is so simple that it's profound. This is no sterile paradigm, but a dynamic system that teaches you how to examine your story ideas, determine if they're worth writing in the first place, and then shows you how to break those ideas down into the major storytelling moments shared by the most popular movies of all time. This system is based on simple to understand principles and has been field tested to the tune of over two million dollars worth of writing assignments and script sales.
In this audio program you will learn:
* The key elements that make your story more SALEABLE;
* The 4 simple questions that shape EVERY screenplay in the top 50;
* The single-sentence formula that LAYS OUT YOUR ENTIRE SCRIPT like a roadmap;
* The 4 archetypes every protagonist moves through LIKE CLOCKWORK from "fade in" to "fade out;"
* The 12 foundation beats of ACT ONE;
* A system of breaking down ACT TWO that is so ruthlessly easy you will never get stuck on page 55 again;
* The 4 final beats of ACT THREE that readers and audiences expect and that define your script as MARKETABLE and PROFESSIONAL.
No confusing jargon. No stale, academic theories. Just liberating, practical, and proven techniques that work in the real world of professional writing. This seminar is perfect for beginning as well as established writers as well as novelists, creative executives, assistants, producers, directors, readers...anyone who wants to learn a radical way of supercharging their storytelling (and story-FIXING) skills.
