Screenwriting I

This module will introduce students to the ideas and practices required in the development and writing of scripts for television. Through seminar discussions, practical writing workshops, screenings and critical evaluation of exemplar television programmes, students will first explore an existing piece of television and re-imagine it as a piece of fan fiction. Students will then develop an original idea by going through the process of script development (proposal/pitch, outlines/treatment), which will then culminate in the production of the opening pages of a teleplay.
