Course Profile

Writing for Screen is the third course in the Career Producer (Unscripted) Programme 2024. This course was developed in partnership with Screen Ireland and experienced Executive Producer and Media Trainer Colin Pauser-Cowman.

How to create compelling voice-over (narration) and presenter links for unscripted TV. Strong on-screen writing is a central component to the storytelling, tone and ultimately audience engagement of an unscripted TV series. The success of a factual TV show often depends on the effective, clear and engaging writing of links, PTCs and V/O to ensure excellent delivery and audience experience.

In many factual TV projects, the screenwriting role is the responsibility of the Series Producer or Edit Producer. This 2-day workshop delivers best practice steps to crafting on-screen writing for the unscripted TV genres, encompassing voice-over, narration and links.

Participant Profile

This course is aimed at established & emerging television production personnel and recent TV/media graduates.

Participants who complete 3-4 of the courses on the Career Producer (Unscripted) Programme 2024 and a post course assignment will receive a Screen Ireland certificate of completion.
