This specially designed short course offers an intensive practical approach to assessing the potential of screenplays and preparing a feedback report for writers.



Reading a script in advance, participants will consider what makes a good screen story and learn to identify the potential within a script and recognise screenwriting talent. As with all Script Factory training, this course focuses on how to translate your analysis into constructive feedback for writers so that the script report becomes the first stage of script development. However, participants will also be advised on how to structure script reports to meet the requirements of production companies, distributors and funders.

Ideal for anyone who is new to the industry or for those who have some experience but are keen to move into a development role, this course provides a valuable insight into the essential beginnings of the filmmaking process.
