Course Details

Film and Television Institute of India (FTII), Pune, under Centre For Open Learning (CFOL) and Vijay Tendulkar Writers’ Academy (VTWA), announces Weekend Online Foundation Course in Screenplay Writing.

This foundation course, spread across two months period, intends to introduce the participants to the art of storytelling and the craft of film screenplay writing.

To begin with, this course will guide the participants to internalize the concepts of pattern, rhythm, and visual and auditory thinking. Elaborating on the history and basic principles of storytelling, the participants will be enabled to understand the bone structure of a narrative i.e. the promise and premise of a story.

With rigorous writing exercises and film analysis, the participants will learn how to build characters, script spaces and weave them into a well – constructed plot in a three – act structure. Fleshing out scenes, writing dialogues for the scenes, and an insight into how to use songs as a part of the narrative will also be discussed and practiced in this course.
