The Morgue - Let Us Help You Jump-Start Your Script
This package is for those who have an existing script which has died! Either it failed to reach the right audience, failed to elicit the correct response, or just plain fizzled. If there is still something in the core concept which you love, then come and resurrect it with us.
The program begins with Full Body Diagnosis. We analyze the current script with you and determine the cause of death.
During class two we identify the core hook of the project and determine the correct format for it. Should this TV pilot actually be a contained feature? We then start to break down The Sequence Tension Method, which will structure the new draft.
In class three we analyze a pre-assigned movie or TV show in the appropriate genre using The Sequence Tension Method and apply the concepts to your movie. You will be taught how to write a new outline or 'Tension Blueprint' for your idea.
In class four we will analyze and lock your blueprint and commence work on Act One of your screenplay.
In class five you will receive notes on your first act and restructure your blueprint in accordance with the script's progress.
In class six we will undertake the same process on the second act.
In class seven you will undertake the same process on the third act and be given suggestions for overall script structure changes.
Finally, micro script line notes will be given and we will assess the rewrite and discuss your next steps with the project.
At this stage, some students use their final 'Tension Blueprint' as a basis for taking 'Oral Exam' to prepare for producer meetings or a pitch.
