Introduction
MA Screenwriting is designed to enable you to develop the skills and understanding needed to work as a writer in today’s screen industries. You will gain advanced insight into the work of a screenwriter – a deep understanding of screen storytelling and professional scripts, working across a variety of screen platforms and industry contexts, writing short-form and feature-length scripts, the writer’s role as initiator and enabler, professional working practices and employment strategies.
Specific topics range from storytelling and formatting scripts to pitching ideas and projects, from working alone, in partnership or in writers’ rooms to selling ideas to producers and editing scripts in collaboration with other creatives.
This course is validated by BIMM University and taught at BIMM University Berlin. Upon successful completion, students receive a Masters Degree from BIMM University.
