    The curricular unit Scriptwriting Workshop aims at deepening the student's skills in the writing of screenplays for cinema and TV. In the 'oficina', the aim is to consolidate knowledge with a review of the instruments already covered for their consequent refinement.   The analysis and the discussion of short films will deepen, in this process, an important critical position, followed by the consequent script-writing practices to be perfected.  It is intended that the student creates his/her original script with the scriptwriting techniques, presenting a complete dossier of his/her work.
