A
script or screenplay is a written blueprint for
the film, creating an environment where the action
occurs. Script writers need to be able to breathe
flesh and blood into their characters as the story
unfolds on paper. They also need the power of
imagination and visualisation, backed by a strong
knowledge of various subjects.
The course delves on theme, visualisation, structure,
dialogue and characterisation, creative writing,
story board writing, imparting training through
workshops, analysis, critiques etc. Students are
encouraged to work on all kinds of scripts; eventually
leading to a final script for the completion of
the course. Business aspects like marketing and
intellectual property rights are also covered. |
