Presents
Sequences: The Hidden
Structure of Successful Screenplays
“A succinct
introduction not only to sequences, but also the theory that underlies
all dramatic storytelling.”
—Andrew W. Marlowe,
screenwriter of Air Force One, End of Days, and Hollow
Man
The great
challenge in writing a feature-length screenplay is sustaining audience
emotional involvement from page one through page 120. This seminar
explores an often-overlooked tool that can help: a screenplay can be
built of sequences of about fifteen pages each. By focusing on solving
the dramatic aspects of each sequence, a writer can more easily conquer
the script as a whole. DVD includes:
- Historical
background of sequences.
- Introduction
of the Four Big Tools that storytellers use to maintain audience
attention.
- Graphics
demonstrating the “nested structure” of successful
screenplays.
- A
sequence analysis of two recent, successful motion pictures.
