Screen Writing (Film, TV & Web Series)

Two Year PG Diploma Course In Screen Writing (Film,TV & Web Series)

The course aims to train screenwriters to be efficient storytellers well conversant with all forms of cinematic writing. It employs a six-pronged approach that includes extensive writing with feedback at various developmental stages, study of relevant concepts, reading and discussion of significant texts, group analyses of films/series, creative writing exercises and introduction to professional aspects. Detailed, step by step feedback from internal faculty as well as guest mentors plays a key role in helping students develop their unique voice while also gaining a practical know-how of the craft. Hands-on experience of the digital film-making process, an introduction to film history and film appreciation, workshops on allied subjects (such as mythology, psychology, folklore etc.), and interactions with renowned academicians and industry professionals further enrich their understanding of cinematic storytelling.

Over the course of two years students develop a robust portfolio of one Feature Film Screenplay, one TV/Web Bible, and one Feature Treatment along with several concept notes. In addition, they develop a Web Series Pitch Deck in a simulated Writer's Room with their classmates and an outside mentor, and numerous writing exercises that showcase their abilities. The course ends with a thorough practice of pitching and narrating these scripts to potential producers, thus making the students ready to plunge into professional life.
