HOW TO WRITE A SCRIPT FOR A SUCCESSFUL FILM OR SERIES
A well-written script is the key to a successful film. The famous Russian director Alexander Mitta outlined in detail the basic principles of screenwriting for “Cinema Between Heaven and Hell”: the hero, the circumstances, the motivation with which he overcomes dramatic ups and downs, and much more. The screenwriter must take into account and keep in mind a million tasks and details in order to ultimately lead the viewer to a feeling of catharsis. At the master class, we will look at where work on a script begins, what a novice screenwriter must think through, and, finally, to whom and how to present the finished script.
