The Board Master Class
Blake regales the class at Cornwall in October, 2006
The Master Class provides an opportunity for you to work closely with Blake to transform your Beat Sheet into the detailed, 40-scene roadmap which will guide you through your script. This class is invitation-only. In order for you to be accepted, Blake will have to approve your Beat Sheet in advance. In some cases, we may suggest that you take another Beat Sheet workshop before moving on. By doing this, everybody can be assured that the entire group is ready to hit the ground running to get the most out of this unique, intensive weekend. The class is limited to six writers.
Day One
- Starting with the 15 beats of the BS2, you and the group “flesh out” the beginnings of the 40 scene cards that will be your final outline.
- Lock down the characters, conflict, and location of each scene card.
- Review each of the 40 beats for change in tone and conflict.
Day Two
- Using “The Board,” put your scenes into action and prove why the four-act structure provides a foolproof method of structure success.
- Revise and retool based on class feedback before your final pitch.
- Make the full-on bells and whistles presentation of the 40 scenes of your movie with final assessment from the class.
The Board Master Class is BY INVITATION ONLY.
