A FREE Workshop for Writers and Others Who Want to Write

Susan and Patrick bring their varied experience to address some of the intrinsic issues and difficulties in creative- and nonfiction-writing. This workshop will offer strategies for conceptualizing projects, tapping inspiration, overcoming blocks, and understanding the story as a fundamental form of logic and communication.

Screenwriting: Writing in Pictures
with Patrick McCord Ph.D.
Sponsored by:.
Saturday, June 6
9 a.m. to 12 noon
Westport Writer's Workshop
32 Webb Road, Westport
Thinking like a screenwriter is not like the thinking process involved in other kinds of writing. While movies may seem as infinitely various as dreams, they have an intrinsic image-based logic as well as specific structural strategies. This half-day workshop is designed to give screenwriters an understanding of the movie-image logic and how to use it with conventional structural strategies.
The following topics will be covered:
· Freeing your image-brain to work with your word-brain: write in pictures.
· Structural requirements of the screenplay.
· Understanding the shot, the scene, then linking scenes: how pictures link together.
· Bringing characters to life via imagery.
Cost: $55, or $45 for participants currently registered in an 8-week Spring 2009 Westport Writers' Workshop or the Cape Cod Writers' Retreat.
To register or for more information:
Please contact Jessica Bram at (203)227-3250 orjessica@westportwritersworkshop.com
