AN ONLINE COURSE ON SCRIPT ANALYSIS DEMYSTIFY SCRIPT BREAKDOWNS Breaking down scripts can feel arduous for most actors. Script analysis often feels like a piece of homework. It makes total sense then that actors don’t really feel like doing it much. The thing is, the script is the singular most important document for everyone working on a film project. Ranging from the producers and financiers to the production assistants and the people building the set, the script is central in the proper execution of the film project. So you as an actor, really have no choice. And why is it anyway that so many actors feel either a sense of dread, panic or boredom when it comes to working with it? The answer, it seems, is that many actors are not taught how to work with texts in order to glean from them what they need. Heard of objectives, super objectives and intentions? Confused about where to find them and how to understand them? Feeling stuck and overwhelmed when told to come up with a character’s ‘backstory’? Or do you feel unsure about what the other characters in the story may mean to one particular character? What if you were to find out that most of the above is in fact not needed. What if you were told that there was a way you could uncover a great heap of the vital information you needed to play a character just by reading the text differently? This course aims to do just that. Simply put, to teach you to read scripts as if they were blue-prints and not merely stories. In this way you have access to maximum information about who your character is; information that you most likely previously would not even have noticed. GAIN MASTERY OVER SCRIPT ANALYSIS In this course we focus on screenplays and get to work on scripts from a variety of films you have most likely watched and enjoyed. The first few weeks focus of the Script Analysis Course deliver to you our powerful scene breakdown method. In the weeks that follow, we practice analysing scripts from different genres and styles giving you great insight into the writer’s own mind. Through vibrant class discussions, engaging homework tasks and the tutor’s feedback, you’ll come to see the script as a place for possibilities, imagination and pure artistry. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * There are no prerequisites for joining this Course! * BEGINNING ACTORS: Benefit from a powerful script breakdown technique that is not only straight forward and intuitive, but also highly effective and efficient. * INTERMEDIATE & EXPERIENCED ACTORS: If feel yourself stuck and bogged down by too many instructions, too many methods and want a practical super helpful new way to think about text, then this highly recommended for your level. KEY POINTS * 5 WEEK COURSE, 5 X 2HR WEEKLY CLASS (TOTAL 10HRS) * SMALL GROUP (MAX 12 PEOPLE) TO POWER LEARNING * SESSIONS CONDUCTED LIVE OVER GOOGLE MEET * CLASSES AVAILABLE TO WATCH BACK WHILE THE COURSE IS RUNNING * 30% THEORY, 70% PRACTICE/HOMEWORK PLAYBACK A script is a blue print.
