Courses
Learn the fundamentals of screenwriting as you explore key concepts and techniques – and discover how to apply them to your own cinematic writing.
This co-taught course will combine critical film theory with practical screenwriting techniques and tuition, through alternating classes. Students will analyse key sequences from selected films and, based on these, produce their own screenplay samples.
Work actively to understand key screenwriting concepts to build your awareness of the needs of your film idea. Develop this into a riveting outline, populate it with engaging characters, and draw your audience into your story world through genre.
