Screenwriting Seminar 3

Tutor:

Jiří DUFEK, Bohdan KARÁSEK

Synopsis:

In the winter semester students are asked to adapt a short story selected by the teacher (all the students adapt the same story; this year it will be the short story by Francoise Mallet-Joris: Cinderella). The course begins with an analysis of the story, followed by a step-outline, and ultimately the first draft screenplay. The purpose of this short adaptation is to prepare students for the long (feature) adaptation in the summer semester, but also to create an awareness of the various ways in which one story can be adapted. For the teacher this is a process of discovering the ideas and talents of each individual student. Because we are not just screenwriters but also script editors, each stage of writing by each student is material for collective script-editing working during the seminars.
