Micro-Credential Story Development for Screenwriting – Toronto

Trebas Institute’s Micro-Credential will provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to get started on your path to becoming a screenwriter.

This introductory screenwriting program is perfect for anyone getting started on their path to becoming a screenwriter. It will offer insight and instruction about the fundamental systems at play within a screenplay: plot, theme, character, dramatic conflict, scene dynamics, and dialogue. Once theory is covered, the scriptwriting program will focus on guided workshop sessions where students put those theories into action on their own material.

Students delve into the creative screenwriting process by looking into how words translate into images and how filmic elements create a visual narrative. The goal of this screenwriting program is to give new writers the practical tools to help deepen their overall knowledge while sparking their own creative energy.

This introductory program is designed to enable students to complete a logline, a story treatment, step- outline (beat-sheets) that may be used to further develop a feature film screenplay based on their own original idea. At the end of this screenplay writing program, students should feel more confident about their story development and screenwriting skills.
