Master Screenplay Sequences
THE PROBLEM

IT’S TIME TO RETHINK 3-ACT STRUCTURE

Have you spent months or years…
Getting confused by all the screenplay structure methods out there, from Snyder to Truby to Vogler?
Adding every plot point on the “correct” page of the script but still being told your screenplay structure is “weak”?
Writing Acts 1 and 3 fairly easily but struggling to fill the giant void that is Act 2?
Repeatedly being told by people who read your script that the structure “needs work,” but not knowing what to do about it?
THE METHOD

HOW TO MAKE STRUCTURE 10x EASIER

Master Screenplay Sequences will completely revolutionize your grasp of screenplay structure by showing you how to break scripts down into manageable ten to fifteen-minute chunks. Or, as we call them, “mini-movies.”
Put together, each sequence — each “mini-movie” — underpins your regular 3-Act structure, fixing free-floating plot points in place.

WHAT’S INSIDE

FIVE FULL GENRE BREAKDOWNS, PLUS THE THEORY

Every technique in the book is shown working in a film you’ve already seen.
Complete analysis of screenplay structure missing from most books and courses, enabling you to step up to the level of pro regarding script structure
Full breakdown on how sequences work — how they’re “mini-movies” with their own 3-Act structure and how they underpin the whole script
DRAMA BREAKDOWN

The Virgin Suicides

We demonstrate how even languid, “free-floating,” “arty” movies such as The Virgin Suicides utilize sequences. If you’re writing a dialogue-heavy Drama this is essential reading.
COMEDY BREAKDOWN

Bridesmaids

See how many of the sequences perfectly define the concept of “mini-movie” with each one setting up a clear goal for Annie in a different location — the dress fitting, the Vegas trip, etc.
ACTION/ADVENTURE BREAKDOWN

Raiders of the Lost Ark

See how the writers create that “roller-coaster” effect by utilizing sequences based on the Ark changing hands.
THRILLER BREAKDOWN

Collateral

A great example of the classic thriller technique of placing an ordinary guy in extraordinary circumstances and turning him into a hero. At the end of Sequence F, Max is safe from Vincent; but he must then risk his life to save Annie.
HORROR BREAKDOWN

Wolf Creek

When is it okay to have twenty minutes at the beginning of a script of people having fun and not much happening? In a horror — as long as it’s followed by absolute carnage, as in this Australian chiller. Learn how sequences are used to pick off victims one by one.

QUESTIONS

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I really need to buy a book on screenplay structure? It all sounds a bit mechanical.

Sure thing. If by the end of the book you’re still none the wiser on how to utilize sequences or screenplay structure in general, we’ll give you a full refund right away. No questions asked.

Is this an eBook or a physical book?

It’s an eBook. After purchasing you’ll be redirected to a link where you can download the book to your desktop or phone.
