Watermelon Academy

Service Description

Story Development is the foundation of Screenwriting. Story Development is where characters, plot, and setting are fully explored and fleshed-out into a compelling story and then applied within the structure of a screenplay. Movies make screenwriting look a lot easier than it is. You might think that a writer just sits at a computer and types away for hours, but, really, it's a process that often requires months, if not years, of development and rewrites. This is true for both novice and veteran writers. Learning how to develop stories for screenwriting is an absolute necessity if you are to have a fighting chance in an industry flooded with screenplays from writers of all levels of experience, education, and talent. Learning Story Development is ultimately about learning how to write with focused intent. Watermelon Academy lessons are presented in a simple and fun format--with small blocks of information--for your ease in understanding and practicing single concepts. Each of these lessons is a building block that combines into a comprehensive hands-on course that covers ALL elements of Story Development as employed by professional screenwriters. Each lesson includes not only the How's and Why's of Story Development, but also anecdotes, examples of real-writer applications, and SKILL-BUILDERS to help you gain focus and confidence.
