Course Description

Students will explore a variety of screenwriting platforms in Film, TV, Web and Games. This degree aims to provide students with all the skills and disciplines required and expected in industry. However, the degree is also an opportunity for students to find their own voice and hone your creativity. The priority on this degree is to maximise the potential of each student’s writing so they achieve their best work and are ready to engage in industry at a professional level. Students will build a portfolio of work including; a TV Bible and TV Drama script, two short film scripts, a feature film treatment, film pitches, synopsis and outlines, a charity campaign script and a final dissertation short feature script. However, within the department there is an online Script Bank where students can also submit their script. This is done to encourage collaboration with Digital Film Production students outside indicative modules and take their work into production. Taught by Industry professionals, with guest lecturers and visitors, the degree offers students continual opportunity to engage with current figures in the field of writing. John Yorke (Author; Into the Woods) has provided a Master Classes on Five Act Structure.
