FROM STAGE TO SCREEN
Students will look at creating believable characters and stories for stage or screen. They will look at the differences between forms and utilise the power of contrast and conflict on the page, on the screen and in characterisation. Students will watch excerpts from a number of films and have the chance to write scenes, story lines and themes that can be used for plays or features.
