BA (Hons) CREATIVE WRITING - SCREEN

UEL’s BA (Hons) Creative Writing (Screen) is focused on writing both for and about film, television and web-based creative projects. As a screenwriter, you will learn to create works for all screen-based media. As a critic, you will learn to analyse and write about screen media, both for popular and academic audiences. You will find that each of the skills you develop will help to inform the others. Your expertise as a screenwriter will aid you in understanding film, television and web programmes as a popular critic. Your understanding of academic approaches to screenwriting criticism will help you to frame debates that influence popular culture. All your critical output will make you a better screenwriter.
When you have completed this degree, you will be able to write creative scripts across all screen-based media. You will also have gained skills to review and critique film, television and web output, both in the popular press and as an academic critic in the growing field of screenwriting studies.

You will develop skills that can be used over a range of jobs in creative industries centred around screenwriting and screenwriting studies. These range from targeted skills that are always necessary in media environments (such as the ability to read and analyse scripts with a nuanced understanding of story structure, plot development and character creation) to more general skills (presentation, literary, team working, team leading). Appropriate jobs upon graduation might include scriptwriter for film and television, copywriter, social media writer, popular film, television and web critic, and academic film, television and web critic.
