KZB260 Advanced Script Development

Narrative drama script development occurs across a range of creative contexts and for a variety of media such as film, television, theatre, streaming services, web series, podcasting, radio drama, animation and story-driven, role-playing games. Often success in one medium can lead to IP being adapted for another. Being able to write for the theatre, the screen or the ear can help build a sustainable writing career. This advanced unit builds skills and knowledge in script development processes to enable you to conceive, develop, write and pitch a compelling short script for a medium of your own choosing.
