What you can learn.

  • Review the overall structure and pacing of the plot
  • Give and receive feedback on your revisions in progress

About this course:

You've written a draft of your original hour-long pilot and now you need to dig deeper, raise the stakes higher, and stretch your characters further to make your script one that will leave an indelible mark on its readers. Have you introduced us to characters and situations that we want to come back to week after week? In this course, you review the choices your characters make, the consequences of those choices, and how to make those consequences more dramatic. You look at your actions, your pacing, your tension and your stakes, among other things. The goal: to improve your script until it's a story that demands the reader's attention.
