AN ONLINE COURSE ON SCRIPT ANALYSIS DEMYSTIFY SCRIPT BREAKDOWNS Breaking down scripts can feel arduous for most actors. Script analysis often feels like a piece of homework. It makes total sense then that actors don’t really feel like doing it much. The thing is, the script is the singular most important document for everyone working on a film project. Ranging from the producers and financiers to the production assistants and the people building the set, the script is central in the proper execution of the film project. So you as an actor, really have no choice. And why is it anyway that so many actors feel either a sense of dread, panic or boredom when it comes to working with it? The answer, it seems, is that many actors are not taught how to work with texts in order to glean from them what they need. Heard of objectives, super objectives and intentions? Confused about where to find them and how to understand them? Feeling stuck and overwhelmed when told to come up with a character’s ‘backstory’? Or do you feel unsure about what the other characters in the story may mean to one particular character? What if you were to find out that most of the above is in fact not needed. What if you were told that there was a way you could uncover a great heap of the vital information you needed to play a character just by reading the text differently? This course aims to do just that. Simply put, to teach you to read scripts as if they were blue-prints and not merely stories. In this way you have access to maximum information about who your character is; information that you most likely previously would not even have noticed. GAIN MASTERY OVER SCRIPT ANALYSIS In this course we focus on screenplays and get to work on scripts from a variety of films you have most likely watched and enjoyed. The first few weeks focus of the Script Analysis Course deliver to you our powerful scene breakdown method. In the weeks that follow, we practice analysing scripts from different genres and styles giving you great insight into the writer’s own mind. Through vibrant class discussions, engaging homework tasks and the tutor’s feedback, you’ll come to see the script as a place for possibilities, imagination and pure artistry. COURSE REQUIREMENTS * There are no prerequisites for joining this Course! * BEGINNING ACTORS: Benefit from a powerful script breakdown technique that is not only straight forward and intuitive, but also highly effective and efficient. * INTERMEDIATE & EXPERIENCED ACTORS: If feel yourself stuck and bogged down by too many instructions, too many methods and want a practical super helpful new way to think about text, then this highly recommended for your level. KEY POINTS * 5 WEEK COURSE, 5 X 2HR WEEKLY CLASS (TOTAL 10HRS) * SMALL GROUP (MAX 12 PEOPLE) TO POWER LEARNING * SESSIONS CONDUCTED LIVE OVER GOOGLE MEET * CLASSES AVAILABLE TO WATCH BACK WHILE THE COURSE IS RUNNING * 30% THEORY, 70% PRACTICE/HOMEWORK PLAYBACK A script is a blue print.

Own Your Success is delighted to bring you the 'Bitesize Masterclass' with Sophie Chapman. Not everyone has the flexibility to step away from the office for in-person events or dedicate extended periods from their packed schedules for full or half-day sessions. So we've put together our 'Bitesize Masterclasses' to help assistants develop and learn from professionals such as Sophie - shorter sessions, same big impact! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Bitesize Masterclass with Sophie Chapman Sophie Chapman EA to Steven Bartlett  Although Sophie initially aspired to be a talent agent, she swiftly realised that her career passions lay within the administrative/operational aspects of working life. Following her graduation in Entertainment Management from LIPA in 2008, she gained extensive work experience across renowned entities such as Sony BMG and Sky One, operating within the spheres of TV, music, radio, and the events industry. Her pivotal entry into a PA role came while supporting musician Eliza Doolittle. After five years, Sophie opted to move home to Liverpool and accept a contract supporting Sir Dave Brailsford of Team Sky. Once complete, Sophie received an offer for a position based in the US with an A-list musician. However, her journey led her to discover her "forever role", providing support to Steven Bartlett. Steven, the Founder and former Group CEO of Social Chain, is a multifaceted individual—a published author, podcaster, entrepreneur, and presently, the youngest-ever Dragon on BBC's Dragon's Den. Sophie has been instrumental as Steven's Executive Assistant, operating on a global scale, in both private and corporate realms for six years.  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kate Wood Masterclass Facilitator  Kate will aid the facilitation of this Bitesize Masterclass, ensuring that crucial topics are covered while prioritising an environment where every participant feels acknowledged, valued, and heard throughout the session. Kate is a business owner, qualified coach, consultant, facilitator, trainer, podcaster and public speaker with a background in learning & development, employee engagement strategy, continuous improvement, communications and marketing.  After 25 years working across the board in blue-chip, non-profit and civil service organisations she now provides support to businesses looking to evolve and become great places for people to work in and with. Having worked with a wide variety of clients from school-age students to senior executives, she has been designing and running workshops, seminars and classes in person or via web events since she left long commutes and corporate roles behind in 2014 when she created her first two businesses.  Her passion is improving working relationships between roles and functions and supporting people to discover their best selves at work.  She does this in the automotive industry, financial services, medical teams, charities, global media, retail, education systems and the arts. When she’s not working, she and her classic car Monty Morgan can be found zipping around the English countryside. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Session topics: * How to establish your self-leadership position in your EA capacity  * Transition from a PA to EA  * Career development  * Boundary setting and wellbeing  * Q&A with the audience - Open-Book Q&A -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What is a Bitesize Masterclass? * Short burst session. * Keynote speakers discuss key themes/topics they are passionate about. * Q&A with the audience attendees - ask the questions you don't usually get to ask! * Run time of 90 minutes (max 2 hours) - we block out two hours in case we overspill on questions. 😊 * Virtually delivered - attend from anywhere that's convenient for you!  * Packed with content, tips and tricks and from industry professionals who can share their experiences with you. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Who will attend? * PA's * EA's * Administrative roles --------------------------- At Own Your Success, we strongly believe in fostering an inclusive environment where diversity is celebrated and discrimination of any form is unwelcome.
