Screenwriting is the art of penning down scripts for mass media consumption such as films, television, theatre, advertising, etc. Screenwriters are responsible for understanding and doing due research on a story, structuring how the narrative shall flow, jotting down the script and screenplay, writing dialogues and how they must be delivered. A professional screenwriter exerts a huge influence over the final outcome of a project, be it the energy of the narrative, the emotional impact of the film or the characterization of people in various roles. The story is in your head, but what sells it to the audience is the screenplay, the script. Through the Certificate Program in Screenwriting, we will teach you how to successfully transfer that story you have in your mind to the paper, and eventually to the big screen. This is where a movie starts and is where we will start our journey to understanding filmmaking.
