THINKING INSIDE THE BOX: DEVELOPING IDEAS FOR TELEVISION DRAMA
Venue: Stafford Gatehouse Theatre
With TV/Film Producer Claire Ingham
How do television drama ideas get started – and how do they make it from a scribbled one-liner to a fully-fledged proposal, treatment or series bible that will grab a commissioner’s attention? This day-long workshop will look at how to find, create and develop ideas, how to present them, how much story to tell upfront – and how to think about satisfying the demands of different TV audiences. The day will also include a review of the kinds of ideas commissioners are looking for now – and give an introduction to the key personnel at the major broadcasters.

IMPACT: WRITING FOR THE SCREEN
With Producer, Claire Ingham and award-winining novelist and screenwriter, Helen Cross.
Venue: The Artrix, Bromsgrove
Writing for the screen demands many of the skills a writer uses in creating short stories, novels, radio and theatre plays – but it also requires new ways of visualising and thinking about plots and characters. How difficult is it to make the transition from prose storytelling to writing for the screen – and what are the tricks of the trade? Using a mixture of film clips, writing exercises and practical advice, this course will encourage writers to think visually about stories, characters, delivering information and developing a visual style. It will also include a session with award-winning novelist and dramatist, Helen Cross, whose book My Summer of Love became a BAFTA award-winning feature film – and whose first original screenplay, Stratford Road, is currently in development with Red Room Films and the UK Film Council.
To Book: Cost: £50 (£45 concessions)
