Scriptwriting for short films: 16 hours; 16 screenplays!

Practical scriptwriting - work alongside me.
Instructor:
Chris Bankes Sivewright
10,011 students enrolled
English [Auto]
Screenwriting - under pressure!
Writing a screenplay within an hour of being given a prompt
The prompt is given and discussed - in real time
The screenplay written in response to the prompt is then discussed
Screenplays are included in the course

Very straightforward:

1. I take a RANDOM UNSEEN prompt

2. I then brainstorm it in real time – less than 5 minutes. You see me do this

3. The lecture stops and I go and write the Screenplay. Total time maximum: ONE HOUR

4. The second part of the lecture is where I discuss my screenplay

5. There are 16 screenplays with this course so ideally the course lasts 16 days

6. You are encouraged to put your ideas for the prompt in the Q/A. Discussion is key! The more you participate the better the course.

So, what does the student get out of this course?

1. SIXTEEN prompts + discussion (optional)

2. Seeing the end result (as a resource/attached document)

3. Discussion with the writer (Instructor) about WHY that screenplay

4. Opportunity (Q/A) to put own brainstorming and invite comments

5. Encouragement throughout from a very involved Instructor

In general, because of time constraints (1 hour from idea to screenplay) the film is 10-15 minutes long. The Instructor has either produced or directed or acted in over 100 films. He is in Equity, on Spotlight and Starnow.

So this course – this CHALLENGE – is ideal for someone new to screenwriting or just wants the discipline of writing 16 scripts in 16 hours in 16 days!

Bonus

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.
Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don't have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That's up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
