Hi. I'm glad to be joining this lab. Are we voting on a show and writing a spec script as a group in the lab, or are we choosing individual shows and each doing a spec script on our own?

Hey all, I have a last minute plan so I won't be able to attend our first class. I'm looking forward to the recording and I'll email Rebecca for any questions I may have.

Indy Gott

Hey all, last week was really insightful! I can't wait to grow with everyone on this journey together. I have a question where will we deliver for distribution and view our peer's work for our future assignments? -- Story areas, beat sheet assignments, etc. cheers :)

Rebecca Windsor

You'll email them to me by 12pm Friday and I'll distribute to the group.

Indy Gott

Copy that. :) cheers!

Hi Rebecca Windsor , I've been rehearsing my three pitches with a conversational tone and, even though I have been trimming all of them down, each one lasts between 2min 30sec and 3 minutes. You mentioned that each verbal pitch needs to be at most 2 minutes. Any suggestions or tips?

Rebecca Windsor

Three minutes is fine!

Indy Gott

Hey Rebecca, I believe I am clear on the Emotional and Plot point beats; however, I am not so clear on an example of a Character Arc beat. What would be an example of that in the samples that we have?

Rebecca Windsor

The character is similar to the emotional arc - basically there should only be a separate beat if it's advancing the plot OR the emotional/character arc.
