Ideas for Successful Scriptwriting Short Course
Course description
Through a sequence of carefully calibrated steps, this unique and innovative course offers techniques and skills to connect your writing with meaningful themes and ideas. You'll be offered a secure method of developing your own templates for storytelling to convey ideas with powerful conviction. The depth and richness of your work will be achieved through thematic understanding of every nuance and detail in story and character.
We'll provide clear and practical strategies, including critical analysis of films and devising creative writing templates that ensure your ideas are developed to their full potential. We’ll also embrace and utilise other art-forms to stimulate and develop unified concepts. You'll leave the course with at least one well developed story that may be taken into production.
The course methodology is a distillation of over 10 years scriptwriting with under and post-graduate students at Goldsmiths University of London.
