Script Development
International students must already be in possession of a UK visa which is valid for the duration of the course.
16 months, part time; next intake to be confirmed
This course is run in partnership with The Script Factory.
The Diploma in Script Development is the only comprehensive vocational programme in script development in the UK. It was launched in 2003 and has since trained some 60 people, most of which are successfully working in the UK or international film industry as developers for film and/or TV drama projects or as creaive producers and a few are successfully writing drama.
In 2011 the domestic and international film industries have a significantly different landscape and particularly the UK's development sector. It is much more transparent and therefore much more competitive.
The Diploma offers the most comprehensive contemporary overview and on-going practical learning in an intensive professional environment.
The programme combines lectures, seminars and workshops alongside talks and panel discussions with current industry practitioners, as well as supervised practical work with a screenwriter. There are continuous written assignments (some assessed, some not) throughout the taught section of the programme which are mostly practical and designed to be useful to a career in development, as well as other areas of the film industry.
The programme consists of 30 taught sessions of 2 hours each held during term-time on a weekday evening (from 7pm - 9pm) running from September - July.
The Final Project element of the Diploma is a six-month supervised development project, which begins at the beginning of the summer when students are paired with a screenwriter. The delivery of all assessed material for the Final Project is due in October.
The course design offers a collaborative experience for students as well as a total immersion in the art and craft of development for the duration of the programme. Whilst the course is full-on it is not full-time; it requires commitment to one evening taught classes through regular term times and completing relevant assignments, but it is entirely possible to combine this course with full-time work so long as you have the necessary desire and commitment!
The programme takes place at The Script Factory in central London.
The Diploma is awarded by the National Film and Television School, on completion of all assessed work to the required standard within the specified time frame.
