Think you’ve got what it takes to be the next Taika Waititi or Jane Campion? This fun, engaging programme will unlock the secrets to great directing and screenwriting.
You’ll learn about constructing scenes and shots, screen geography, storyboarding scenes, editing, chase scenes, shooting indoors and outdoors.
Students will take turns directing and being directed from sample scripts to gain a full understanding of the role.
You’ll also learn about formulating a script that will work on screen. A good screenplay makes a great film. The adrenaline of a thrilling action scene, the emotion of a romantic tearjerker, and the tension of a mysterious whodunit all begin on the screenwriter’s page.
Filmmaker Stephen J. Campbell will teach you how to: come up with great ideas; structure a story; develop multi-dimensional characters; and write and format scripts for film and TV. You’ll also discover the logistics of filmmaking and how scenes and sequences work.
