- Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC (1888PressRelease) December 27, 2011 - Writers of all genres are welcome in workshops exploring film techniques and theories in writing, maximizing tax deductions for writers and how to craft effective dialogue. Three writing workshops are offered: Film Techniques for Writers, Accounting Basics for Writers and Writing Dialogue With Actors. All workshops take place from 10:30AM to 12:30PM on Saturdays throughout February 2012 and include brunch.
Saturday, February 11 - Film Techniques for Writers: Storytelling techniques in films can be translated to novels, poetry and memoir. Frame, composition, types of cuts, choice of colors and angles can change the meaning behind a character and their actions. Learn how to direct your scenes using actions related to film theories.
Saturday, February 18 - Accounting Basics for Writers: Did you have to buy a camera to take photos for a magazine article? Your camera is a tax deduction. Are you traveling to a writers conference? You can deduct 100% of your travel expenses and half the cost of your meals. Learn how to maximize your deductions as a writer, where the line exists between hobbyist and business, and about the types of business models you can form as a writer. (Sole proprietor, LLC, etc.)
Saturday, February 25 - Writing Dialogue With Actors: You've probably found reading your work aloud helps in discerning what dialogue works and what sounds completely unrealistic. Bring segments of your novel or script and let the professional actors who have starred on the stage and screen bring your work to life. Their job is to breathe life into characters just from reading dialogue. Receive suggestions from the actors and other writers on how to build dramatic tension and make your dialogue more realistic.
