Get inspired! Wake up your inner Dr. Seuss! This popular course is now running over 8 weeks to cover all the exciting aspects of writing for Children's TV.
The scope of the course: The Introduction to screenwriting for children course is designed to give writers new to the genre or beginner writers, an overview of writing for children’s TV shows. The classes will be a combination of theory and praxis with script samples and episodes of Children’s shows to illustrate.
Desired Outcome of the course: At the end of four weeks students will
- Know the difference between writing for children and writing for adults
- Have an understanding of the various mediums available – animation, live action and magazine
- Understand the difference between entertainment, edutainment and educational content
- Understand the different age groups and their needs
- Understand the nature of storytelling for children as well as have a clear grasp of what is appropriate, and what is inappropriate for children
- Be able to write a synopsis, an outline / beat breakdown and a script at a basic level
The classes are limited to six participants, so each participant gets lots of individual attention. We create a google group for the class so your 8 week course is not limited to class participation but all-week interaction with other participants and each other's writing.
Class times Saturdays from 14:00 - 16:00 (but don't make plans till after 17:00) starting 9 March 2013
- Maart 9, 16, 23
- April 6, 13, 20
- May 11, 18
Please note, the classes on Easter Holidays will roll over - hence the course runs into May... but there will be writing assignments those weeks.
