The struggle is real ya'll...
The music featured in this episode is Frank Ocean "Hero" in celebration of his upcoming and much anticipated album, Boys Don't Cry and SZA feat. Chance the Rapper on the melodically haunting, "Babylon" which is featured in my Smooth Life Mix from weeks ago.

Think Like a Team
Elevation in the Industry: Get Your Team Up!
This is a community based industry. Movies are shot with large crews of actors, producers, editors, and crew. Even though screenwriting is one area initially done it solitude, for the most part it takes a group to get a project made. Screenwriters need to make multiple contacts to get their projects sold either themselves or by way of an agent.
With that being said, how often do you think about the development phase being a team activity? If you haven't maybe now is the time to start. You have to have your idea together first, but then it's fair game to pitch your concept to get honest reactions and feedback.
When you involve your classmates, mentors, or auteurs into your creative process, your project will elevate. Great minds can build beautiful things when their energy is focused on similar goals.
Try it out with a few of your past or present classmates and watch how elevate together and apart.

"SAVE THE CAT?" A Follow - Up
Hi,
Here is a link to the resource used in my first and second video post related to the Blake Snyder book in case you were having any trouble finding it. I highly recommend it as it is an easy read to get you started on your journey. From one newbie to another, I think this is a great starting resource as it breaks down the structure into beats and offers some great initial advice for how to start.
I can only speak on the original book, as that is the only one I have read, but there are also a wealth of Beat Sheets, Podcast post, etc. on the Save The Cat site if you are having trouble understanding scripts or creating a starting point.

Welcome to my blog, Screenwriting with the Newbie~
My name is Danielle Wilcox and I am writing my first feature film. Though I have some screenwriting experience with shorts and a May-Mester course that I took with Sheldon Schiffer at GSU, I have never written a feature. I wanted to see if I was up for the challenge so that I could see if this would be my niche in my industry. I graduated this December so now seemed like the perfect time to work on it. This blog will document my journey through my first film as well as share the best tips and tricks I gain while going along with the process.
This site is accompanied by my video blog, "Screenwriting with the Newbie" which is currently posted on YouTube. A new episode comes out each week. Below is a link to episode one. Please feel free to share your comments, suggestions, etc. here or in the comments section on YouTube. I am also an avid Tweeter and as you will all find out, I am a bit of a goof ball.
Thanks for reading and keep writing everyone!
Sincerely,
C. Danielle Wilcox
