The Art of Screenwriting: Dialogue and Description

Learn from the best! First presented as part of the Writers Guild Foundation's prestigious Words into Pictures event, each program features top Hollywood motion picture writers discussing specific aspects of the challenging art of writing for the screen and their different approaches to their craft.

This program teaches text and subtext, conveying emotion of the character and the situation they're in, research, rewriting dialogue, character profiling and specificity of vision. Subjects covered include: Something you write or something you hear. Should it be realistic? How to condense a good scene. Should a movie have one "voice"? Description: minimizing dialogue. Is there magic in description or should it simply be clear? How to persuade benumbed executives to read your description.
