Screenwriting

CAEL3007

The Screenwriting Elective focuses on narrative script development by providing students with the tools of constructing "story" through characterisation, active language, succinct visuals and plot. Students will, in consultation with the Academic Advisor, develop three to four drafts of a screenplay for a 5-7 minute film. The elective provides for the development and enhancement of skills through group critiques of casting and work-shopped readings of the students' own draft screenplays at regular intervals during the semester. Students are expected to produce a final draft screenplay for assessment in week 15.
