WGSA workshop

Thu, 12 May 2011 12:25

The first Writers Guild of South Africa (WGSA) workshop for 2011 will take place on 28 May at 9h00 for 9h30, at AFDA, 41 Frost Avenue, Auckland Park, Johannesburg.

This workshop will use the case study of an actual series to explain what goes into the script development phase of a television series, from concept generation based on a commissioning brief to final delivery of scripts for production. The presenters will explain how a writing team is made up and who does what. The three presenters all worked on the series Intsika, but all have a broad range of experience and will reference other series as well. The workshop will conclude with a Q&A.

Case Study:
Intsika on SABC1 Tuesdays at 8.30

Facilitated by:
Julie Hall - Head writer
Katleho Ramaphakela - Writer and Story liner
Patronella Sello - Series Producer and Writer

The workshop will cover:
Concept generation based on commissioning brief
The Series Bible
Storyline design
Character design
Episode format
Scriptwriting team - who does what?
Script execution and fulfilment
Challenges

Those of you not writing currently for television, but like to venture into this field, this is your opportunity to gain insight into the A to Z of television writing, right from the horse’s mouth.

A cover charge will be payable at the door. WGSA members will pay R10 per person, and non-members pay R30.
