Film Screenwriting
MA (nine months full-time plus dissertation) PgDip (nine months full-time)
Programme details
The rationale for this programme is the need to shift away from the European ‘Fine Art’ attitude to film storytelling and towards a more trans-Atlantic approach.
By making our students address issues of language, genre, economic viability and artistic merit within the process of script development and script production, we hope that our programme can strengthen the European film industry by increasing the economic and creative viability of European writers. This programme is taught in collaboration between the University of Salford and the TAMK University of Applied Sciences (Finland).
This programme will be taught entirely in English.
Module titles
Semester 1: • Storytelling and the Moving Image: The Short Film, Forms and Genres in Film
Semester 2: • Storytelling and the Moving Image: The Feature Film
Semester 3: • MA Film Project
Suitable for
Students who have scriptwriting potential and wish to develop their film writing skills to professional standards.
Career potential
The programme only began graduating students in July 2009 with an initial small core of eight Finnish students. Of those eight, five have received funding from the Finnish Film Foundation to continue development of their MA Project script. The most developed of those scripts has now received a second grant, has a director attached, and will shortly be going into pre-production. Students have also been accepted onto a script- mentoring programme at YLE, been commissioned to develop a TV series by AVEK (The Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture), and have been employed to develop a new Finnish continuing (Soap) series for YLE 2.
