Most screenwriting classes teach the fundamentals of putting feature film ideas on paper, from the "hero's journey" to the three-act structure. This course goes a step further, teaching aspiring writers how to write a script that could actually be sold to a Hollywood studio, production company, or independent producer. Students explore the film genres whose scripts are the easiest to sell and learn how to come up with high-concept loglines and create castable characters that could attract A-level stars. The class also delves into the fine details of a screenplay that make it attractive to buyers: scene lengths, careful writing of dialogue and exposition, situations to avoid putting your characters in, and much more.
