Description
This course covers the basics in screenwriting format with instructional videos which teach you everything you need to know in how to format and develop an industry standard screenplay. There are many courses that offer the same thing but not from produced screenwriters like this one. I don't teach theory here, I teach practicality. After this short course you will be able to create a screenplay. If you ever plan to write a screenplay but don't know where to start, you are in the right place. This crash course will teach you, in just a matter of hours, the proper way to format and create your first screenplay. If you have a movie idea in your head and want to get it the right format, this is the course for you. All info contained in this course is practical. There is nothing to fast forward or jump to in order to get to the meat of the subject because everything here is exactly what you need to craft your first screenplay. Sometimes, as I have found, many courses with include information that is not important. Not the case with this course. Everything that I teach is important in this course.

My name is David and I live in a small town in East Texas. I began writing screenplays my freshman year in college. I spent many years learning the craft of screenwriting while getting rejected over and over. It was also in college that I started trying out for roles in film. After working on many movie sets and writing many screenplays, I decided that I was going to start making my own films. I teach two courses at Udemy. One is in screenwriting and the other is in independent film-making. I have had success in both areas and would like to give you some practical knowledge on how you could do the same. I have had a screenplay nominated at the International Christian Film Festival and both of my movies have won awards. If screenwriting and making movies are your passion, or you want to learn how to either, check out my affordable, short, and practical courses.

A great place to start when attempting your first script. I've studied novel writing for several years for my foundation. This course assumes you at least have a functional understanding of story writing. As a side note, I was pleasantly surprised Scrivener supports screenwriting. Good luck!

I just took this course, for a week. I was busy writing my outline and trying to transfer it to screenwriting softwares. While I don't have Final Draft, I have a cheaper version of screenwriting app from Apple. (It's called Logline Screenwriting app. It's free, but you can use it, and once you upgrade it, there will be a price cut on screenwriting app, for current users of the app.) This course is very educational and practical for the beginner screenwriter. Now, David Ford said that after you complete the course, he recommended finding screenwriting books, to help you learn how to screen write. I love this course. It's basic lessons, and very practical. I will be looking for useful screenwriting books to help me master my writing.
