Story Adaptation
Brand recognition is increasingly important in the industry as everything from books to board games become screenplays. Students are individually assigned a short story to adapt into a script.
TV Spec Script
In the television world, writing is not solitary. Students experience working in a writer’s room, collaborating on one episode of an existing TV series.
Reality TV Treatment
From coached scenes to host narration, “unscripted” television shows are anything but. Students will create a treatment for a reality show.
TV Comedy Skit
While not everyone can be laugh-out-loud funny, it’s crucial to have a sense of humour in this business. Students create a short SNL-style skit that will be performed.
Feature Film Script
One key goal for this program is for a script to emerge as a realistic contender for production. Students write their own screenplay for an original, low-budget, marketable feature film.
