*About Project-Centered Courses: This is a ‘project-centered course’, which means it is designed specifically to help you complete a personally meaningful real-world project, with your instructor and a community of learners with similar goals providing guidance and suggestions along the way. If you have any concerns regarding the protection of your original work, Coursera's privacy policy protects the learner's IP and you are indeed the sole owners of your work. David's guidance is spot on, he's his own compelling story teller, he gives you enough, and then you have to figure it out, make it happen, WRITE! WRITE! WRITE! " Having never written a script before, or any substantive fiction since college (15 years ago) I had a small idea in my head that has now exploded into something I really believe in. Learner Review: "I am in love with this course. During week two, you can choose to download some free scriptwriting software such as Celtx or Trelby or you may choose to purchase Final Draft, or you can continue to use your word processor and do your own script formatting. To begin with, any basic word processor will do. He is teaching us how to write a script, and he is providing wisdom and tools that will help us do so in a compelling way - by writing not by watching him talk at us.” - A R Adamson When I watch the lectures I feel David’s sincere desire for me to create something truly amazing. “David's lecture style for this course is inspired. I firmly believe that the only way to become a writer is to write, write, write. I will guide you but I won’t "show" you how to write. My lectures are short (sometimes just two minutes long) and to the point, designed in a step-by-step process essential to your success as a script writer. I am a proponent of Experiential Learning (active learning). The course curriculum is simple: you’ll write, revise your work, and share feedback with your peers. This aspect was very important to me." Ingrid It was encouraging for us all to creatively flow and find our own voice in writing and developing our scripts. "Thank you so much for your direct way of teaching this course. Most of the actual learning takes place within your own activities - that is, writing! You will learn by doing. This is a course designed to tap into your creativity and is based in "Active Learning". To view the trailer, please copy and paste the link into your browser.
