Cinemalaya Institute to conduct intensive film workshops
Applications are now being accepted as Cinemalaya Institute will be offering feature-length screenplay writing and basic filmmaking courses from May 22 to June 30, 2017.
Course instructor Sophia Wellington of the London Film School and London Film Academy will be teaching Writing the Feature-Length Screenplay. Designed for students with scriptwriting experience and with outlines or drafts of existing screenplays, the course will take students through the process of refining a feature idea, creating strong characters, developing a story arc, writing a step outline and a draft of the screenplay. They will study plotting, visual storytelling, scene writing and dialogue as they meet the challenge of a robust outline. At the end of the course, students will have a step outline and scenes to enable them to complete a draft of their feature screenplay. Wellington is an expert in script development.

On the other hand, Carlos Siguion-Reyna, an award-winning film/theatre director, will be handling Basic Filmmaking: The Silent Film. A six-week course in directing, this course enables students to apply the basics of film language in film exercises and achieve a basic mastery of the classic conventions and tools of the film directors. Towards the end of the course, each student will direct his keystone project: a seven-minute silent digital film. The purpose of the course is to challenge the student to find his/her own cinematic voice within the basic, commonly understood language of narrative film.
