Out of the various ideas for different films, i came up with 20. Now I know I can knock up a draft for each one, but how do I turn into something that's vivid and eye-catching and "reads well"?
What I'm saying is that: Is it better to learn screenwriting from courses & competitions or can it only come to you naturally?
I would like to know is it worth going to a local college and applying to get on their writing courses or entering various competitions or is it only a Natural skill which can be boosted through read screenwriting books and studying scripts.
I mean I've bought a bunch of books (not Robert McKee's Story, though, I've heard that's too complex for beginners ) and tried to study scripts but I'm none the wiser. I've written a script, but I'm worried if I'm just trying emulate other scripts.
So is Screenwriting a natural skill or can you learn it?
