OTHER PRACTICAL COURSES - ALL INVOLVING REAL TV PRODUCTION
Writers Course
Not since Aristotle devised ‘the three acts’ structure has the convention of screen writing been easier to understand.
A most exciting narrative development initiative is the SAFTV writer’s course.
In a 6-week experience, writers undertake six theory sessions with working professionals and embark on a journey to write and complete a short film screenplay ready for production – all with the expert tutelage of a credited script editor.
All writers receive a user-friendly reference manual that makes abstract concepts easy to understand.
It includes:
How to build, sustain and resolve conflict?
How to create endearing characters with which the audience will empathize?
And of course all the conventions; including script format, plot points, scenes, sequences and the right way to structure thematic narrative.
The manual includes motivating pointers and mantras to get you through to those (elusive) two words, THE END.
The ideology is simple.
Do it for real and you remember how to do it!
So here comes the reality!
TV BONUS
Writers help write segments for EWTV and collect a credit in the process.
You will be involved with a real TV Show showing on Foxtel.
You will use your skills along with crew to produce a script for the segments
on the show.
FILM BONUS
Twice a year SAFTV will produce one film.
ALL writers are provided equal opportunity to get their script shot!
To apply simply email Jason@saftv.com.au with a paragraph or two about any subject you want.
SAFTV is more interested in your creative flair than your sentence structure so knock our socks off but keep it brief!
Producer's Course
Freelance producers are able to hone their skills, develop new contacts and take away a do-it-yourself guide that outlines the way to successfully produce a feature film.
Everything about the production process is scrutinized including budget, managing staff and clientele, cast and crews, contracts, scheduling, script and the investment process – what they expect! What they get!
Graduates of this course are fully equipped to produce a picture thanks to the SAFTV modus operandi; create for real!
All producers will receive an opportunity to produce a segment for broadcast on EWTV in preparation for their masterwork; the pre-production of a short film as supplied by a writer.
That’s right, at SAFTV we have stacks of scripts itching to be made by a proactive first time producer like you.
The course runs for 6 weeks and the practical and theoretical curriculum coupled with good teachers ensures every producer can now go forth and produce!!!
