Screenwriting

A program of Magic Lanthon School.

About this program

A screenplay tells a story through what can be seen and heard. In this program you develop an idea into a script that a director and crew can work from.

You work on character, structure, scene writing and dialogue, and learn the format screenplays are written in. Reading produced scripts and rewriting your own pages are part of the work.
