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.
With a more industry focussed 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.
