The course is aimed at those who already have some writing experience, but who want to develop professional skills and expertise as screen or radio script writers. It is geared towards developing each student's own writing and distinctive voice, to enable you to pitch for employment and production funding in a highly competitive industry. You complete the programme with a feature film or equivalent television or radio script. You also gain knowledge of the film, television or radio industries and some of the contacts necessary to market your projects.
Contents
The core course is designed to give you the skills and understanding required to develop your Treatment for a feature film or equivalent television or radio script. The course is taught mostly with workshops, in which you present and discuss your own work with other students in a supportive environment. There are also class exercises, lectures, screenings, master classes, seminars and individual tutorials. Starting in the Spring Term, the course then develops your Treatment into a second draft feature script (or its equivalent). Option courses include Short Fiction, Script Editing and Media a Landscape of Opportunity (from ICCE).
