ABOUT THE WEBINAR
Screenwriting structure can be daunting to the best of writers if the elements are not properly understood. In fact, screenwriting has more structure than any other form of creative writing, with the exception of certain styles of poetry. While each element is vital to the art of screenwriting, plot is probably the most misunderstood of all. It is not story.
Even though we can isolate each element of structure, and compartmentalize how they function in a script, this is not about a formula for writing, but having a greater understanding of the building blocks that make a story great. Carla says, "Screenwriting is not like any other kind of writing, because it is for a visual medium. While the elements of story (plot, storyline, character arcs, story arcs, and good dialogue are also shared in creating a work of fiction, there are a couple of fundamental differences in the process of writing for the screen." One major difference is the use of exposition to drive a plot forward.
Carla currently teaches screenwriting at Santa Barbara City College Continued Learning and holds regular workshops in Montecito. She has written a dozen original screenplays and two have been optioned.
