Students will get acquaintance with theory and practice of screenwriting and narration in film. They will write their own screenplay during the course. This process - from the very first idea to a shooting script for a short film - will be discussed permanently. That way students learn to professionally talk about script development and learn the criteria for creative decisions. This practical approach will be accompanied by lectures in narrative theory, dramaturgy and the history of screenwriting.
