DESCRIPTION
Contour... Developed in collaboration with Emmy Award-nominated Jeffrey Alan Schechter, Contour is a proven story development system that streamlines the process of turning movie ideas from first glimmer to full outline.
The Contour story development system teaches the writer how to use the same character-based structure that all blockbuster movies use to create solid stories from Fade In to Fade Out. With its intuitive, fill-in-the-blanks approach, Contour shows exactly what elements need to be in a script, never leaving the question, "what comes next?"
