Drehbuch-Gruppe Berlin

Start der Drehbuch-Gruppe Berlin

Filmemacher oder Filmproduktionen können sich heute dramaturgische Beratung kaum noch leisten. Im Rahmen einer kleinen Gruppe mit max. sechs TeilnehmerInnen bietet scriptdevelopment die Möglichkeit einer finanzierbaren dramaturgischen Beratung für aktuelle Drehbuch-Projekte.

Die bereits ausgebuchte Drehbuch-Gruppe Hamburg zeigt, dass der Bedarf groß ist. Am 25.04.2010 startet in der Zeit von 15 bis 18 Uhr die Drehbuch-Gruppe Berlin. Infos und Anmeldungen unter https://www.xing.com/events/drehbuch-gruppe-berlin-492928 oder per E-Mail an info@scriptdevelopment.de.

Jedem Teilnehmer/Jeder Teilnehmerin steht ein Zeitfenster von 30 Minuten zur Verfügung, in dem dramaturgische Methoden und Lösungsansätze zur Stärkung der Charaktere, der Charaktermotive und Charakterbeziehungen, zur Verdeutlichung und Verbesserung der Konfliktsituationen bzw. der Spannungsbögen und des Erzähl-Themas sowie zur Verbesserung der dramatischen Struktur und Charakterauthentischen Dialogen angewandt werden. Das dramaturgische Coaching beinhaltet Methoden wie die 3-Akt-Struktur, die 8-Sequenz-Methode, die 22-Story-Terms, die Reise des Helden und die Anwendung der Archetypen auf Charaktere, Thema und Handlung. Aufgrund der gemeinsam erlebten Entwicklungs- und Verbesserungsprozesse partizipieren die TeilnehmerInnen voneinander.

Silke Cecilia Schultz hat in den letzten sechs Jahren professionelle Erfahrungen als Drehbuchautorin (für div. TV-Serien, TV-Movie-Entwicklungen sowie einen TV-Zweiteiler), als Dramaturgin (für eine TV-Dokudrama-Reihe, drei Kinofilme und einen Roman-Projekt), als Dozentin (u.a. an der Filmschule Hamburg Berlin, Hamburg Media School, Filmmakers Networking Workshop Event) und als Gründerin&Leiterin einer Workshop-Reihe und zweier kreativer Schreibgruppen Erzaehlt.net - Erzaehl' Deine Geschichte!) gesammelt und im Jahr 2009 scriptdevelopment gegründet.
