Class Training schedule:
February 15th and 17th (6PM PST, LA time)

Class Goals:
* Reading (e-text), movie analysis, and some writing exercises
* Lectures on fundamental concepts
* Present work for critique
The online class is in two-parts, first an online tutorial (e-book) you access right away after signing up; and then two intense training Sessions with the professional instructor:
* Finding the Heart of your story
* Plot or Character driven, which is best?
* Cause and Effect (Characters and Plot)
* Thinking about Characters
* Fully fleshed Characters
* The Paradigms of a Story
Screenplay Structure (This is not a discussion on simply the 3-Acts, every story has a beginning, middle, and an end or it would not be a story, and we're only interested in writing screenplays with a story.)
* What is Structure and why is it important?
* What Structure best suits your Story?
* Structure and Genre
* Classic Structure: Linear, Journey, Chase, Search
* Types of Alternative Narrative Structure
