Professional Scriptwriting: Screenplays for Film & Television
SCR
The Australian College, Professional Scriptwriting: Screenwriting for Film & Television course can help you take your idea for a film or television script, to the big screen.
This course will help you to understand screenwriting and write a simple synopsis. You will learn the key elements of a screenplay and how to develop characters, write effective dialogue, incorporate screen devises, market and launch your story.
The film and television industry invests an enormous amount of money in new scripts every year, because a successful release at the box office can mean huge profits for the investors.
Consider this: box office revenues for Australia in just one year were around one billion dollars; in the United States they were around nine billion dollars. That’s a lot of money in any country. But it’s not news, the film industry is big business and everyone knows it.
High demand screenwriters can now earn between $2 million and $2.5 million a script.
When you successfully complete your course you will be awarded the Australian College Certificate in Media (Film and Television Scriptwriting).
