INTRODUCTION TO SCRIPTWRITING FOR SCREEN COURSES

Our Introduction to Scriptwriting For Screen programme is open to anyone regardless of experience.

Primary Creations have ran many very successful scriptwriting for screen courses. Previous participants have said about the course; 'It has given me confidence in my writing', 'I've enjoyed meeting new people and sharing ideas', and 'It's inspiring and helped me build a portfolio of work'.

By the end of the programme each participant will have written a 10-15 minute short film and had their final piece read by professional actors. The sessions will provide information about structuring and developing a sound script; scriptwriting for screen principles, structure, formatting, dialogue, character, writing exercises. The sessions are a great opportunity to generate ideas while working step by step through the process of writing your own script.

Writing can be a lonely task. These sessions give participants the chance to meet like-minded people from all different walks of life with fresh eyes and minds to bounce your ideas off.

The course is priced at just £59.50 for our 6 week introductory course

Places on each course are limited, and booked on a first come first served basis so do get in touch to find out when the next course is in your area.
