Welcome to the 2006/7 Birkbeck Online Workshops.
The Workshops are aimed at writers who cannot attend college based courses but still want the feedback and support workshops can provide. To date writers from all over the UK, Europe, the Middle East and Far East have successfully attended and completed the workshops.
Former students of the online courses are working throughout the industry and winning awards and commissions from the UK to Hollywood
This online workshop forms part of Birkbeck’s Certificate in Media Practice. You can take the course as part of the Certificate or as a standalone option.
The Introduction to Screenwriting course runs for two terms (24 meetings) starting on Thursday 27th September. Workshops run online from 7.30 to 9.30pm
The Course module covers the skills and techniques needed to create an effective script. You will explore and analyse ideas, formats, story, characterisation, structure, conflict, plot, scene, atmosphere, dialogue, visual style, subtext, rhythm and pace.
