Module Overview:
In this module you will examine the relevant genres in detail in workshop sessions, using current examples and with input from visiting professionals. You will be required to use relevant formats, complete storylines/treatments, and drafts of script extracts to deadlines.
Additional Information:Following Level 5 modules Screen Story, Screenplay & Treatment and Dramatic Writing for Radio & Stage, this module allows students greater scope to further develop their structuring, pitching and workshopping skills. It is intended as a preparatory module to the final Scriptwriting Portfolio. However, work produced on this module will be marked as stand-alone assignments and students will have the opportunity to change their projects when they come to the portfolio stage, mirroring the development process that writers experience in industry. Students will work independently and in groups.
