Scripts that stand out from the crowd have to break the rules.
In this inspiring and challenging workshop for writers of all levels of experience we will take you through the essential rules of screenwriting for film and TV and then show you which rules you must keep to, and which you must break, for your individual script - and why.
With constructive analysis, clips, free scripts and advice to help you to produce a script which is truly exceptional.

* Three Act Structure

* Multi-Act Structure

* Introducing and planting

* Building the scene sequence

* Exposition tricks

* The "map scene"
