BFA |
|
|
The
Bachelor of Fine Arts
with a specialization
in SCREENWRITING |
|
|
|
is
a 3 year programme
in English which
provides a broad
introduction to
the technical and
aesthetic elements
of filmmaking with
an emphasis on Screenwriting.
|
|
|
 |
The
Screenwriting specialization
within the BFA Filmmaking
curriculum is specifically
designed to give students
professional preparation
for a career as a Screenwriter
in film and audio visual
media. This is accomplished
through theoretical courses
and practical exercises
as well as “learning
by doing” work where
students, write, not only
screenplays for their
own films but for their
classmates’ films
as well. Working as part
of a creative team, the
students learn the craft
of screenwriting, will
learn and master the technical
and aesthetic principles
of editing. |
|
|
After
completing the first year
of cross-disciplinary
studies which covers the
fundamentals of filmmaking,
the students begin to
specialize in their second
year with screenwriting
workshops and modules
with practical exercises
where they will study
the principles, techniques,
practices and theories
of visual narrative construction
to help develop storytelling
skills. This includes
an overview of the elements
of theme, plot, character,
and dialogue in dramatic
writing for film and the
integration of these elements
into scenes and sequences. |
|
|
In
the second year,
the emphasis is on “learn-by-doing”
work so students will
have not only the opportunity
to write screenplays,
but see their screenplays
produced on screen within
the context of supervised
EICAR film and HD productions. |
|
|
The
programme’s final
year consists
of writing a feature-length
theatrical screenplay
based on the treatment
developed the previous
year. Although small intense
screenwriting modules
and individual tutoring
are part of this third
and final year, the student’s
participation in school
productions, his ability
to work as part of a team,
and the quality of his
contribution to the finished
film are the most important
factors in evaluating
his work. |
|
|
At
the end of the three year
programme, the
student will have had
a well-rounded curriculum
with experience in practical
problems and assignments
encompassing film, video,
and non-linear media with
a specific professional
preparation for a career
as a film or audiovisual
writer. |
