Screenwriting

From paper to screen

This course is intended as a starting point for those who wish to develop skills in audiovisual writing. Through practical and theoretical sessions, participants will explore the fundamentals of screenwriting: dramatic structure, character creation, dialogue, genre, rhythm, and professional formatting. Through guided exercises, film analysis and individual feedback, each participant will develop an original idea and learn how to transform it into a short script for a fiction, animation, authorial or even commercial project.

Profile

The course may be cancelled or changed if the number of participants is insufficient or in order to achieve a better balance of sessions.
