SUMMARY:Screenplay Analysis: RED
DESCRIPTION:The screenplay will be emailed\nIt’s common knowledge that to make a great film you must first start with a great script. But what is a great script? What elements make up a great story?\nJoin us Saturday November 18th as we review and break down the script RED. If you want to be a writer, it is not enough to watch films. You must read scripts as well. You must analyze the components of a script. Dissect the script and learn what makes it work.\nThis will be put on by Bill True (screenwriter and Faculty-in-Residence for Dramatic Writing and Department Chair at the esteemed Scottsdale School of Film+Theatre) and he will also discuss some issues you have with your work – be sure to bring questions and your thirst for knowledge. \nIn our discussion we will review:\nSetup:\nAct One: (20-30 Pages)\nPlot Point #1 (Forced to make a decision that changes the direction of the story)\nWhat is the inciting incident/call to action (approx. 12 mins)?\n(This spins the protagonist’s world out of sync).\nClimax of the first act.\nAscending Action to the Confrontation\nCharacters at a crossroads and must choose a course of action. They develop a PLAN “A” based on necessity.\nWhat are the main conflicts? (what is at stake for the protagonist?)\nWhat is the Act 1 turning point (approx. Min 25)?\nHow does the antagonist really sock it to the protagonist at the end of Act 1 so the protagonist is forced to do something?\nWhat is the midpoint?\nAct Two – 40-60 Pages\nMidpoint: Unexpected obstacle surfaces to help get our protagonists back on track (Plan A)\nProtagonist stops reacting and starts ACTING\n(Often a pivotal character is introduced as an agent of change)\nFalse sense of security – then to plot point #2\nPlot Point #2:\nLowest point in the story for the protagonist\nThe hook that spins action in another directions.\nPoint where “plan A” must be abandoned b/c it’s impossible to achieve\nProtagonist’ goals come tumbling down.\nDescending Action\nThird Act: 20-30 Pages\nGood climax’s resolve story and should be close to end of film.\n**The above is provided at the request of participants from prior discussions. These are the structural elements we will discuss.\nJoin us for analysis of , and see what makes a great script. \nWe will email the screenplay when you RSVP\n
