Short Courses / Writing
Screenwriting Level 2 (Online)
10 weeks
A follow on from our Screenwriting Level 1.
Overview
Following on from Screenwriting Level 1, this short course continues to develop the student’s own creative and artistic practice as a writer, and expands their skills of craftsmanship by introducing them to the requirements of longer form screenwriting.
If you have not completed Level 1 but have the experience and wish to take part in Level 2, contact shortcourses@thelir.ie to update us on that.
With a more industry-focused series of workshops, students will explore how to write pitches, treatments and the next steps in the development process of a feature length piece leading up to launching yourself into a first draft.
