This course aims to develop the creative writing skills of students in a way that is meaningful to their work as media practitioners. Writing scenarios, genres and styles are explored through creative writing exercises, while students both produce and critique a range of different written texts that extend their skills as writers.

Screenplay and storyboarding for films are also developed, with a particular emphasis on the wholistic development of correctly formatted script materials. Students are exposed to case studies in both script and character development, and these concepts are extended into practical visualisation through storyboards.

Interactive media are considered, with specific reference to styles of interactivity, information architecture and the role of the user in interactive experiences.
