How to Write a Screenplay (During Quarantine)英文电子书【nofilmschool】

First of all... are your hands clean? Is your keyboard? Just making sure. Your health comes first! Writing a screenplay is hard enough, even when you aren’t saddled with an extra layer of anxiety about the state of the world and the health of your family. We created this eBook to help you jump in and start writing. Get those ideas flowing! This book was written by screenwriter, teacher, and prolific No Film School contributor, Jason Hellerman. It combines many of the best practices, tricks, and resources found in dozens of screenwriting books out there on the market. If you’ve already read multiple screenwriting books, great—this will refresh your memory. If you haven’t, by all means, go out and get several others after you’ve finished this one. But our main goal with this eBook is to prompt you to put pen to paper—whether this is your first time writing a script or your hundredth. After all, the best way to learn is by doing—and right now, you might have some extra time on your hands. We’ve put together a ten week plan for you. Regardless of how long you’re stuck at home, we think this is a good amount of time to spend on getting a first draft out the door. You can travel through this screenwriting journey in sequential order (which we recommend the first time through), or you can hop to any section to brush up on something, rediscover some of the tools of the trade, or just grease the wheels when you feel stuck. We’ve also loaded this book with examples from some of the greatest movies ever written, because our mission at No Film School is to help people learn to tell better stories, “no film school” (or student loans) required. Years from now, when treatments and vaccines for coronavirus have been widely deployed, people will look back at this time as a prolific writing period. Some great movies are going to be made from all of the screenwriting done in relative isolation in 2020. We hope this book helps your script become one of those great movies!
