INTRO TO SCREENWRITING

Free / Contribution-based workshop, Delhi

Do you passionately love writing, reading and the movies? Do you have a story to tell? Are you an aspiring filmmaker trying to grasp how writing for a film is different from other forms of writing.

In this workshop, we introduce you to the first principle of writing for the screen - show, not tell. What is this principle and why does it matter? A series of fun writing exercises help you apply this principle to your work. You write small situations, share them with others, and get immediate feedback from the tutor(s).

You're also introduced to the elements a good story, powerful characterisation and the popular 3-act structure in films.

Please note that the workshop does not cover documentary scriptwriting, and does not involve shooting or editing.
