A good story and script form the foundation of all successful films. Designed for the beginner screenwriter or filmmaker with little or no film or television experience, this workshop aims to build a solid foundation in screenwriting by equipping participants with industry-standard rules and guidelines of scriptwriting.<\/p>

Taking the short film as a starting point, participants will learn how to craft stories from experienced Singaporean practitioners, and turn their ideas into screenplays with interesting characters and compelling plots. Participants will learn the fundamentals of the 3-act narrative structure, visual storytelling, and how to craft dialogue and characters for the screen. The learning experience will be enhanced by online critique and discussions of writing exercises in-between class sessions. At the end of the workshop, each participant will have a completed first draft for a short film (up to 10 pages).<\/p>

To discover and develop powerful story ideas for your next script, please see\u00a0Scriptwriting II: Creative Writing for Screen<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

This rupture in his childhood allowed him to understand how powerful stories can be in shaping one\u2019s reality. Ivan\u2019s early films constantly probed at what \u2018family\u2019 meant. Today, Ivan\u2019s work examines contemporary Singaporean society through bizarre and absurd situations. He also likes Ozu, Teresa Teng, Chinese tea, and cheeseburgers.<\/p>
