Ideas for Successful Scriptwriting Short Course

Course overview

No story or screenplay is entirely original. Every story echoes others that came before it. Over 14 steps, this unique and innovative course offers techniques and skills to connect your writing with successful themes and ideas.

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 will 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.

Who this course is for

As most creative careers involve storytelling this is very much an upskilling course. It is suitable for writing, advertising, film, TV, painting, and photography. Good English is required but previous experience in scriptwriting isn't necessary.
