Our 1 Year Scriptwriting Course is practical, full-time, suitable also for beginners with no experience and taught on our campus in Prague, the Czech Republic. The program ends with qualification BTEC Level 4 HNC in Creative Media Production (Film) which is equivalent to the first year of bachelor’s study. After completing this one-year program, you can seamlessly transition into our 1 Year Advanced Course to obtain BTEC Level 5 HND Diploma. This study program consists of two semesters and will teach you all scriptwriting techniques you need to know to write scripts for festival-worthy films. It includes internship on a film set, every week screenwriting practising for shooting up to 20 short films and scenes of different styles and as well as writing scripts for your own 2 festival-worthy short films shot on professional filmmaking cameras (RED Gemini, RED Dragon, Alexa Amira or Sony F55). You will be required to learn all the basics of general filmmaking to make you understand the entire process from pre-production to post-production, which is crucial for kick starting your career in the film industry. The emphasis on scriptwriting specialisation is given mostly during practical workshops.
During the course, you will get a chance to practice writing techniques on up to 20 short films or scenes of different styles.
Small class sizes means more time with tutors and individual guidance on your projects. Our teachers are actively involved in the film industry and can offer tips on the latest trends in filmmaking.
You will write scripts for your own 2 festival-worthy final films shot on the most popular cinema cameras such as Red Gemini, Alexa Amira or Sony F55.
You will get a chance to take part in filmmaking internship on a professional film set. The internship will grow your network of all-important contacts and set yourself apart in a very competitive career field.
During the year you will invest most of the time practising screenwriting on dozens of short films. At the end of the course you will write a script for your own 2 final films. Through the guidance of your tutors, you will write scripts that will be produced on the same level as professional film productions and your film will be shot with the professional filmmaking equipment at the value of more than 90 000 USD.
Below you can see the basic topics which you will complete on the course. You will turn into practice all theory acquired in the classroom. During practical exercises, you will equip yourself with basic key skills needed for film scriptwriting and create industry-standard scripts. The curriculum of the 1 Year Post-production Course is identical to the first year of the Bachelor in Filmmaking Transfer Program.
