Screenwriting:

Got a story to tell? Tell it with pictures and learn the fundamentals of writing for digital media. This short course is an introduction to screenwriting with a focus on concept creation, scene construction, character and dialogue.
You will get to practice the important first steps in creating works for screen and learn how to apply the skills to your very own stories for screen projects.
