When I first started writing I was hesitant to outline my scripts. I thought that using outlines would make my movies formulaic. But as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate the structure of outlines more and more.
I've tried every outline format you can imagine: Joseph Campbell’s Hero’s Journey, the Save the Cat beat sheet, the Syd Field screenwriting outline, even Thomas Lennon and Robert Ben Garant’s structure they use in their book.
I've come up with my own process for outlining my work including a plot worksheet and a notecard process that I do on Milanote. In this video I walk you through from start to finish how I outline my scripts and how the process has evolved over the years.
