Picture this: you sit down to finally write that script you've been developing and outlining forever. As you put and begin to write, you get to your characters' first appearance and you stop to consider how best to introduce them. Should you talk about their backstory, their personality, that scar they got when they fell off their bike in the seventh grade? And how much detail is too much?
Beyond the introduction you write for them, there's also the characters' dialogue to consider. What should their first lines be? And how can you be sure that the reader understands this character quickly?
To answer all this and more, Roadmap welcomes Top Tier Writer James Moorer to the webinar stage!
This 90-Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- Characterization
- The importance of evocative language
- Voice and Dialogue
- Audience Q&A
