Description

Learning how to read and evaluate scripts is a helpful skill to have for several reasons.

For writers it’s an easy, free way to study the craft of writing. We’re told that reading other scripts is one of the best ways to learn screenwriting, and being a script reader will force you to do that more consistently.

Writing script reports will also help you understand how your script is reviewed by the people you’re submitting to which should improve the quality of your submissions.

If you’re regularly reading scripts and improving your ability to analyze concept, characters, etc, you can’t help but become a better writer.

Is this class only for writers? Of course not, if you are a film buff or someone who wants to work in the film industry in other areas, these skills can help you as well.

Improve your Job Prospects: If you’re looking to work your way up the ladder or just pay the bills with an entry level position in the film industry, chances are you’ll be asked to read scripts and already having that skill will be an asset when applying for those jobs.

Networking: When you read for a festival competition you can often earn a festival pass and connect with others in the industry.

In this course you will learn

How to analyze a script objectively
How to write a coverage report
How to keep improving your reading skills
Where to look for work as a reader

Unfortunately there isn’t a lot of script reader training out there.

I’ve taken in-person trainings in major cities like London or L.A. but those are usually only offered a couple times a year and you’ll pay $140-200 for those plus any travel expenses. I wanted to create an online course to make the training more affordable and accesible, allowing you to learn on your own schedule.

If you still have questions you can read through the course description to learn more about what is included but if you love screenwriting and want to improve your skills and help your career...
