It is easy to follow the course syllabus: You all write, you revise and then share your feedback with each other.
Experiential learning (active learning) is what I believe in. I make my lectures short, sometimes only two minutes. They are concise and straight to the point. Although I can guide you, I cannot show you how to write. Writing is the best way to be a writer.
This course was taught by David in a very inspiring lecture format. They are concise and entertaining. Davida's genuine desire to help me create truly extraordinary things is evident in the videos. Davidas is showing us how to create a script. He's giving us the wisdom and tools, not just by talking at us.
Here's what you need to do:
Any basic word processor should work. You have two options during week 2. Either you download a free script writing software like Celtx, Trelby, or you could choose to buy Final Draft. Or you can use your existing word processor to create your scripts.
Student Review: I am in love this course. I was a novice at writing scripts or substantive fiction, and I came up with an idea that I now believe in. David is a great storyteller and his guidance is excellent. You only have to take what he has given you, figure it out, then WRITE. WRITE! WRITE! "
