MASTER SCREENWRITING CLASS
January-March
FILM STRUCTURE CLASS 1
STRUCTURE IS THE ESSENCE OF SCREENWRITING AND THE FUNDAMENTAL TOOL IN A
GOOD SCREENPLAY. BUILDING THE CLOTHESLINE TO HANG YOUR SCREENPLAY
ON IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES, BUT ALSO THE MOST REWARDING WHEN YOU GET
IT RIGHT. IT WILL SAVE YOU INNUMERABLE DRAFTS, GIVE YOU A SKELETON TO
BUILD FROM, AND ENSURE YOUR CHARACTERS HAVE STRONG INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL GOALS
AND THAT THEIR DESIRES AND PASSIONS ARE THE CENTRE OF YOUR SCREENPLAY.
Structure encompasses, external action, inner and outer character goals and
arcs, thematic structure, A & B subplots or multiple subplots and visual
images/ metaphors structured into your screenplay. It is the layers of
the screenplay that give the screenplay depth, but it starts first with laying
the groundwork of the main external A structure and character goals and
arcs.

ABOUT US
Rogues was
founded in 1993 in Vancouver, B.C. by seasoned working professionals,
Christianne Hirt and Joe-Norman Shaw - who shared a desire to establish a
creative home where actors could explore their craft in an environment devoted
to the highest and most demanding artistic principles. After Christianne won
the lead role of Hannah in the series Lonesome Dove, the two moved to Calgary
where they re-established Company of Rogues in 1996, continuing their vision to
cultivate a community of first class actors.
We invite you to audit our classes and discover why
Company of Rogues is the place to be.
