How to "Do Notes" Workshop for Assistants on the Rise - Build Your Own Workshop with 3 Colleagues

During her 19 year feature career developing for Barry Sonnenfeld, Laura Ziskin and Garry Marshall, and teaching feature development for three years at UCLA Extension, Blair Richwood found that Assistants and new CEs are expected to give notes but are uncertain about what to write or how to write them.

Little training, competing theories and changing formats leave the newcomer frustrated and searching for guidance.

Ms. Richwood supplies that guidance and instruction through a methodical approach she created and refined in her private practice.

In this personalized "How To" workshop she will train just 6 Professionals in her unique step-by-step process of analyzing screenplays that require notes.

You will learn and practice the basics of the development memo, working on a provided spec script in session, guided through a specific, simple analysis process.

v PROGRAM

Intensive and enlightening,
Blair Richwood's classes are also fun.

Upon registration and payment you will receive an information packet and the spec script to read before the Workshop and to bring with you on Saturday. (Laptops are welcome, recorders are not.)

In an intense 6 hour day, with breaks and a working lunch, we will:

Assess the Notes Arena

Appraise the Material

Articulate Areas of Analysis

Approach the Assignment

Apply this System

Analyze the Spec Script

Articulate a Template

Adopt a Checklist

You will leave this workshop with:

practical tools,

applicable skills,

greater confidence and

a proven approach to crafting notes to further your career and the development process at hand.

This is not coverage --
Blair Richwood teaches you how to contribute, impress, advance.
