Script Factory: Script Development Initiative 2010 – DEADLINE FRIDAY 29TH JANUARY, 2010
Screen Australia recognises rigorous craft-based script development as an essential part of the feature filmmaking process. The foundation of good development is the ability to read and analyse a screenplay in order to ascertain its potential strengths as well as correctly identify the source of its weaknesses. As a stand-alone practice in Australia, the script developer role demands specific, tailored support from a number of experienced and relevant sources.
Following the success of the inaugural workshop in October and with a view to strengthening and advancing Australian screenwriting culture and its practitioners, Screen Australia is once again working with development training pioneer the UK Script Factory to assist producers and script developers to hone their skills in a practical environment. Four Australian tutors will be involved in teaching the workshop alongside the Script Factory principals.
What is it?
A four-day workshop will be offered nationally in Melbourne during March 2010.
The workshop process is designed to enable individuals with high-level story analysis skills to focus on the nuts and bolts of script developing. Individuals apply to Screen Australia with demonstrated script development experience.
Participants will be introduced to a structured approach of assessing scripts, writing script reports and preparing a development strategy. By examining produced screenplays and reading early work by new screenwriters, participants will consider what makes a good screen story and learn to recognise screenwriting talent. This workshop focuses on how to translate the analysis into constructive feedback for writers so that the script report becomes the first stage of script development.
The workshop includes time for participants to prepare written work, on which they will receive feedback from the tutors.
