** About this workshop **

Workshop 1: Logline | Monday 17 August, 3:30pm

The purpose of this intro workshop is to get the students thinking about the basic structure of a film—that there is a hero, they want to achieve something, but there is an obstacle (like a villain, disaster, internal demons), and something they could lose if they don’t achieve the goal (the stakes!).

You’d think a one-sentence logline is easy, but they are not! They take a lot of practice to condense the general idea of a movie into one to two sentences.

Topics:
What are a logline and a synopsis?
– Examples and getting people to think about their stories in this way
Conflict makes a story.
– Protagonist, their goal, the obstacle to that goal, the stakes if they don’t win.

Exercise: Create a logline and synopsis (this will go over 2 workshops)
– Create a one to two sentence logline that gives an idea of your whole story
– Use the template(s) provided for a synopsis and whittle it down.
– Pick your favourite movie and reverse engineer what you think the logline might be.

Homework: Come back with a logline for your short film idea.

Workshop 2: Characters | Monday 24 August, 3.30pm

The purpose of this workshop is to delve into characters – their wants, desires, needs, flaws.

Looking at a well-known film, we will discuss what the protagonist or hero of that film wants from what we generally know about the film. No one will need to watch a film beforehand. We can all pick different films and talk or write about it.

Topics:
– Discuss character motivation (in films we know and our own)
– Hero vs villain/obstacle

Homework: Continue to develop your stories and characters, bring them for discussions.

Workshop 3: Story vs Plot; and Structuring Scenes | Monday 31 August, 3.30pm

The purpose of this workshop is to get the students to understand that screen stories can be told in all sorts of ways: from beginning to end, from end to beginning, jumping all around in time, spread out across 1000 years or across 2-actual-hours.

How we tell stories on screen is the plot.

– What is the difference between story and plot? And what does it mean for a film?
– Scenes need to flow smoothly from one scene to the next
– Every scene must tell us something new
– When to begin a scene
