ABOUT THE WEBINAR

Film is a visual medium and a screenwriter (by definition) is writing for the screen (not the speakers)... but how do you tell a story visually? When Oscar winning screenwriter Robert Rouse was given a chance to write and direct his own movie, he made THE THIEF (1952) which was dialogue free! Rouse was an Oscar winning *screen* writer. That was 1952, for the past 25 years over 2/3rds of USA film's income is from overseas, where they often do not speak English. The ability to tell your story visually is critical. Though there are dozens of old idioms like "Seeing is believing" and "Believe only half of what you see and nothing that you hear" and "I'll believe it when I see it", do your screenplays follow this ancient wisdom? Hitchcock said: "Rely on action to tell your story and resort to dialogue only when it's impossible to do otherwise." But how do we do that?

This seminar will show you how to tell your story visually, so that your dialogue can be the icing on the cake and doesn't have to do all of the heavy lifting. Using simple techniques you will learn how to turn a character's thoughts and emotions into concrete actions. How to write an actual screenplay using examples from Hitchcock, the Best Screenplay Oscar Winning coming of age drama "Breaking Away" and several recent and classic films. Over a dozen techniques you can use today.

William C. Martell has been a working professional screenwriter for 25 years with a stack of produced screenplays plus many more sales and assignments, and can guide you through the process of harnessing your imagination and creativity to turn thoughts, emotions, and dialogue into actions we can see and audiences the world over will understand.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

  • How to use physical decisions to show character.
  • Why your protagonist's goal *must* be something physical.
  • How to create a Visual Character Arc.
  • Why creating contrast is critical to your story.
  • How to use symbols to show emotions.
  • How to harness the tools of visual storytelling to create a more compelling screenplay.
  • Over a dozen professional techniques like Echo Scenes.

Good quality, but a few issues with the hidden mounts and levelness.

These are quite nice and also sturdy. Only complaint I have is that I bought a couple of these, and on one of them, only one of them, it was difficult to get the hidden mounts to go into the holes. I think it was probably a manufacturing defect thing. Also, on that particular one, it wasnt as level as the other. Not a show stopper, but if you need a perfectly level type of mounting situation, I would be careful here.

Nice looking. Not very sturdy. Easy to install.

Update: The shelf slopes at about a 45° angle when you put anything more than about a pound on the outside edge of it. Perfectly fine up against the wall. Just seems like the braces inside aren't long enough to really give the stability needed. Bracket is nice and tight against the wall. Had to add braces underneath to hold a small plant, a photo and a small container. Wa sloping more and more each week The shelves look great and we're pretty easy to install. They have a single bracket that is very easy to mount to the wall and get nice and level.. The downside is that the bracket isn't long enough to go between studs. This seems like a pretty simple oversight. I mean why wouldn't you make it long enough to go stud to stud? Secondly and maybe more fatally the bars that go inside the shelf to support them coming out from the wall are significantly shorter than the depth of the shelf. Unfortunately this means the shelf is only supported the first few inches coming out from the wall so there is the potential for a slight lean forward.. The anchors they send are trash. Cheap soft plastic that just tears and bends with a screwdriver. I would suggest spending $2 and grabbing your own anchors from Ace or home Depot. The shelves are essentially made of a high grade cardboard kind of wood. They are not going to support much weight or last for years and years however there incredibly affordable and look nice and easy to install. Long as your expectations are right you'll be happy.
