Afternoon Breakout Workshops:

Writing for Film and Books

Storytelling & Screenwriting – breakout workshop with John Dawson
Being a writer requires more than a vivid imagination and dedication. One needs to have a deep understanding of ‘Story’, its purpose, and its parts, regardless of the form in which one’s story is presented IE novels, short stories, comics, plays, film screenplays, games and TV shows scripts. John will discuss Story: its role in the human experience. He will work with participants to ensure that they have a clear understanding of a story’s components: logic, theme, character and archetypes, structures, plotting, genres, tone, and how all must gel together to create a completely rewarding, memorable experience; one of transcendence and transformation.

Writing for Games

Game Narrative Design – breakout workshop with Karen Hunt

Our Game Narrative Instructor, Karen will kick off the afternoon with a Masterclass entitled, an introduction to Narrative Design. She will look at the use of branching narratives & foldback schemes in Game Writing, after which you will have a clear understanding of what Game Writing is and how it differs from more traditional forms of scriptwriting.
After that, Karen will take you on a super quest, her aim? To have you complete the first draft of a game scene and have your very own portfolio piece completed!
After that, you will have gone through a workshop and dedicated Masterclass with one of the world’s most successful creatives who has worked on AAA MMOs to indie mobile games.
