What you'll cover
Have you always fancied writing a film, but never quite got round to it? Well, now's your chance. It is not only possible to write a full-length screenplay in six short weeks, it is an easy, efficient enjoyable process. Honest.
We all spend approximately 13 years in front of a screen, so it's just a matter of unpacking the dormant knowledge that we already have. We already know what makes a good film, or a bad one, so let's drill down to reveal the mechanics of what works, and what doesn't. Then all we do is use those templates to create a movie of our own
In previous courses, we have looked at the craft of writing, but this time we will put that craft into action. Each week, award-winning screenwriter and former BAFTA Screenplay Judge, Rob Young, will give you a set you of simple tasks - for you to do at home. Week by week, block by block, these will build into a well-constructed screenplay. It might not win an Oscar, but it will be a pert, perky and professional product.
Complete beginners, non-writers, shy people, film buffs and the vaguely curious are all welcome. Don't just watch films, write your own.
