The Feature Film Story & Character Development with Outline (20-25 pages in Word Doc) includes the following:
The purpose of the story development outline and character development process is to ensure all KEY story and character elements are present before the writing begins. During this process, the client and screenwriter discuss and agree on all the key elements of the script, which is then reflected in the detailed outline. This outline and development process helps to prevent the need for costly rewrites once the first draft is completed. During the story and character development stage, the client and the screenwriter work closely together for a total of 10 one-hour phone sessions (Mon-Friday EST). Once the conference calls are complete, the screenwriter then sends the outline to the client to review. Once the outline is agreed upon, the First Draft of the feature screenplay is then written in Final Draft screenwriting Software. The script will then be ensured to meet all of Hollywood's strict screenwriting standards.
The time to complete the Story & Character Development process for a feature screenplay is approximately 3-4 weeks.
