Micro-Credential Story Development for Screenwriting – Toronto

Trebas Institute’s Micro-Credential will provide you with the necessary knowledge and skills to get started on your path to becoming a screenwriter.
Students delve into the creative screenwriting process by looking into how words translate into images and how filmic elements create a visual narrative. The goal of the course is to give new writers the practical tools to help deepen their overall knowledge while sparking their own creative energy. This introductory course is designed to enable students to complete a logline, a story treatment, step-outline (beat-sheets) that may be used to further develop a feature film screenplay based on their own original idea. At the end of course, students should feel more confident about their story development and screenwriting skills.

Once theory is covered, it will be followed by guided workshop sessions where students put those theories into action on their own material.
