Screenwriting Master Classes ONLINE with Max Adams

Max Adams, international screenwriter of mystery
Max Adams is the hardest-working screenwriter around, because not only is she an award-winning (and yes, produced) screenwriter, she’s also constantly teaching. Here is her upcoming class schedule for March, which is also a good place to plug MY upcoming course, dammit, Blogging for Writers, which has nothing to do with screenwriting per se but kicks ass nonetheless.
And so does Max.

ON VISUAL WRITING
Readers are entirely dependent on you. There is no movie unless you put it on the page. So, you have, absolutely have, to give readers a visual.
This does not mean a map of the furniture layout in the protagonist’s room. This means an impression of the location.
Is the furniture out of Salvation Army or out of a French showroom? Does this location scream cash? Or last dime? What does the location tell you?
The three most important elements of location are, space, light, texture.
Consider these two examples:
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
The kitchen is ugly, small, cramped beyond thought, one small bare bulb overhead tries to illuminate the dirty linoleum floor and old Formica table without any help from windows.
INT. KITCHEN - DAY
The kitchen is huge, spacious, whoever lives here has more money than God. More than modern refrigerators with glass doors going on forever line the wall, frosty interiors illuminated by harsh artificial light….
Those are examples from yours truly just making up two very different kitchen locations on the fly. Notice how different the locations are using just three elements: Space. Light. Texture.

SPACE, LIGHT, TEXTURE
“Visuals are the weakest element in most script pages I see and Visual Writing is the first class I created because I thought this was the most important missing subject in screenwriting classes. Most writers sit down and think story. But a film is not just story. A film is, literally, moving photographs. And if you don’t know that, if you don’t write that, you are not writing a film. And nobody reading the script will ‘see’ a film. Because you didn’t write one. This is why space, light, and texture are the building blocks of Visual Writing. Because space, light and texture are the building blocks creating an image on film — and so, the building blocks creating ‘film’ using just words on a page.”
