Your session:
The content of a screen-based narrative is driven by good storylines. But this is only possible if good, strong characters are developed to deliver the dramatic content. When this process succeeds, it helps engage audiences and allows programmes to build notoriety and a positive reputation.
In this session, you’ll focus on an integral part of the storyline process: the creation and development of characters suitable for drama-based production.
You’ll work with an experienced academic who’ll introduce you to industry-recognised concepts used by screenwriters and production teams in the creation of major television projects. Using these concepts, you’ll then work with others on a scenario to develop characters and an outline for a broadcast project targeting a specific audience.
This will give you an idea of one of the creative processes that you’ll work on during your degree. It will also give you the opportunity to meet our expert staff and work with other applicants who hold an offer for this course.
