perfect

Yes, this course was rewarding as I got to the finish line, but during the writing process from beginning, middle and end was a times somewhat frustrating. The new script format that I chose was Trelby and its application did take a while to get comfortable with. I took a college screenwriting course a couple of years ago and had use final cut in the past.

Overall, I did appreciate the course because its direction was fairly easy to follow, and the course provided a good outline that motivated me with its requirement of submitting 10 pages per week. I think I finished my script a couple weeks before the deadline. My ideas for this script existed a while back, so I used a condensed script of under 20 pages that I was happy to have been unable to expand into 110 pages. This is my first full-length screenplay, so it felt very rewarding upon my completion--- Thank you for your direction through the videos/ written info and the nicely laid out way of uploading my on-line submissions for review. Being able to give and receive feedback was a little time consuming, but much appreciated in the end.

It got me to write, so that's been great.

But there have been three instances now of trying to upload submissions and being unable to because of technical issues on your end. I tried to extend the course so I could address these issues and finish up, but it only gives me an option to "rate" the course. I'm frustrated putting in countless hours and not having the technical capacity to finish. It would be great to have a text to accompany the course so one could learn the actual technical aspects of screenwriting. Do you have texts you recommend (besides Syd Field?).

Poor instruction. The instructor merely tells you do to things, without offering guidance or insight into doing them well. He then relies on you to do the work he should be doing by "peer reviewing" submissions by other students. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against peer review. But this is not the setting for peer review. If you want to learn something about screenwriting, don't take this course.

I had completed a screenplay before taking the course, but now I understand the three act structure and how to use it to build suspense and keep the audience engaged. Before I took the course I got bogged down in the vast middle wandering around like I was lost in a desert. I learned more than I expected. I am more disciplined to write every day and I learned to be open to feedback and rewriting what doesn't work or could work better. I read my dialogue out loud to look for better ways to write the story. I do what the film makers do and try it a few different ways to see if I can help my audience get more out of the story. This is a great course and now I want to tackle the other course by David Wheeler. Thank you!

I found that the process: Beginning, Middle and End to each Act helps create a storyline which confines to the length of a movie. This obviously corresponds to the average attention span of a viewer. Way-points, on when to give a twist, where to re-emphasize the dramatic question, when to create hopelessness, redemption, etc are useful in understanding how a story will have the most impact.

Regularity was certainly useful in retaining the flow, although there were times when longer contemplations were required, e.g. in creating the plot.

I hope to move forward by initially sticking to this format and, then maybe, experiment with slight deviations.

David Wheeler's course is the perfect combination of instruction, motivation, informatio. The very brief videos motivate one to go it one their own, create their own path. I loved that. Thanks you for offering this course. I highly reccomend it to anyone pursuing screenplay writing.

I had a lot of fun doing the class online. I had ample time to complete the course; the materials were very helpful and useful. I look forward to doing another course, similar to this one. I feel like I learned and took a lot from this class, and thanks for the opportunity.

Mr. David Wheeler is simply excellent. His sessions are just a couple of minutes on average but that is all that is every needed for what he is trying to explain. I would say rather than going for long boring lectures, he uses precise loglines to send out his point.

For those who are interested in writing stories for audio-visual modes of communication, in my opinion, this course is a treasure. This course benefits those who want to write novels, shadow puppetry and much more.

It's a very good course that adds many layers of knowledge, as well as the didactics of sharing our progress and work ideas with the class. I highly recommend it, I was completely happy to have taken this course.

This course has been very helpful to me. I learned many new things and developed my writing further. The instructor explains everything really well. Overall, I loved this course!

The course was great. He gave me a method and taught me, in a clear and simple way, how to use the tools that I didn't have and that I needed to write a script.

I want to thank the creators of this course! It was really helpful. I got not only new abilities and methods for writing, but also a good reviews of my script.

I got to learn a lot from the course! My confidence in writing has greatly improved along with critical thinking when reading other screenplays.

I learned a lot from him. Very easy way of teaching. One very interesting thing about this cousre is that, its short lenth of lecture. love it

It's perfect, easy to understand and I learned a lot in the development of the script, simply complete, congratulations to all involved.

This course was increasingly difficult. I'm glad I was able to complete it. If you're a creative writer, this course is for you!

The best weekly guidance for new writers and even experienced writers. Peer reviews also help you self analyse which is great!

I actually enjoyed the course. It motivated me to get through week by week. If you're just starting out I'd say go for it!
