Outlining Your Screenplay Workbook

Description

The hardest part of writing any screenplay is getting started. You’re staring at a blank page, with a pen in your hand and an idea in your head, but… something isn’t quite happening?

No one wants to do an outline when you could be spending that time in the creative bliss of writing! Sitting down to pen out an outline feels like eating the vegetables before you get to eat dessert. Let’s be honest, starting an outline can be just as overwhelming as starting the script itself. That’s why we’ve put together this workbook, that is going to express pass you through all the boring parts of your process, so you can get to the fun!

This guide is for you if you’re looking to:
– Get major clarity on the characters, plot points, and themes of your script.
– Level up your layout to build tension, create effective arcs, and tie all your elements together.
– Build your confidence in your world and characters to make writing a breeze.

Just get started writing! You’re ready to get your screenplay done, and you’re looking for a jumpstart!

This outline was put together by some of the best writers on the New 32 screenwriters table. They all have varied styles, formats, experience…but there’s one thing they can all agree on: You need an outline.

“I was so frustrated by my own brain! I had most of my screenplay, but the middle just wasn’t coming together. I was desperate to have a first full draft, and I even had an investor waiting to read it, so time was of the essence. Molly did what she does best, came over with snacks and a plan. She sat me down, MADE me do an outline, and much to my surprise…I already had a middle! I blew through the final 40 pages I needed in less than 2 days, and sent my script on to my investor. That movie (Bernard gets famous) is now in post production, and you can catch it’s release this summer! All of that because Molly pulled out some paper, and did what I hadn’t had the patience to do myself: write an outline.” -Raven, New 32 CEO + EP

The fuel of writing is letting your imagination play. Getting to finally experience the characters and build the scenes in your head, that’s the part we’re all here for! Setting your outline up first allows you to have more fun creating.

Are you ready to start writing? Of COURSE you are! We all are.
