2: Understanding how to work as your own producer with an entrepreneur’s mindset
3: How to create commercially viable scripts
4: How to anticipate audience reception
5: How to challenge yourself to work experimentally, and to write outside your comfort zone
You will be asked to reflect critically on your experience as well as to refine your favourite piece of work from the course. We will look at best-practice career tips as well, and review one essential concept from each course.
