Schedule

You’ll be working on 2 distinct tasks for about 30 minutes total each day.  Reading and writing are always a big part of it.

1. Discovery

On most days, you will be reading, summarising the material, and reporting on it. This may take 20 – 30 mins.

2. Forgery

In the first half of the course you will be copying one or two scenes. I’d say this will take about 10 – 20 mins.

3. Mastery

In the second half of the program, you will transcribe a short video from a film or a show, for 15 – 20 mins.

Tools

For the reading, summarising, and reporting, you can use a hard copy notebook, or your preferred note-taking app. (in case you’re interested, I use Dynalist.)

For the script work, you may use any free or commercial software. Just don’t use MS Word for script format. Thousands have gone before you—and failed.

If you follow the course’s daily pace, here’s what your schedule will look like:

Daily Schedule

As you can see from the course schedule, on most days you’ll have 2 tasks, a short one and a longer one.

Together they should take up about half an hour. Once you’ve completed the work, you wrap for the day.

Even if you’re keen to continue today, keep that energy to dive back in tomorrow! Better than burning out early.

Workload

The total workload of this training course is somewhere between a day and two days. So technically you could rush through it on one adrenaline-fuelled weekend.

The advantage of taking your time, is that it will help you build habits.

So try working fast for 20-30 minutes every day, and finish on a high. When you’re done, you’ll keep the appetite to continue the next day.

And some people find it easier to build a routine if they complete the tasks around the same time every day.
