You Lost it in the Second Act?


You Got Close To Page 60 But… In general, there are many reasons why you “Lost it in the Second Act.” There are usually several major issues that arise when one hits that wall during the Second Act, for example:

* Failure to outline your Dramatic Arc (This I cover in detail and show you where your script is going wrong and pinpoint early warning signs.)
* No exit strategy for your Second Act (I will provide you with specific and proven strategies for properly setting up and getting through your second act.)
* Overt awareness of screenplay structure (Seems like a simple thing but there are ways to manage your narrative and also increase tension and conflict without sacrificing tempo and beat.)
* You took your eye off the ball (Doing more re-writing than writing? I’ll help you avoid this with some helpful tips.)
* Your desire to complete the story wanes (You lost the passion, why? We’ll look at the dynamics of effective story selection and development.)

Who should take this class? Anyone who has one or more screenplays they can’t seem to finish; feels their completed screenplay is missing something, and/or feels overwhelmed after only 30+ pages of writing. You do not need a finished screenplay to take this ISP!
