Course Overview
The first version of a story about visual media scriptwriting tends to become the reference version. Reputation built over years is re-assessed publicly within hours when the communications and media practice capability is mishandled. A common pattern is strong design of this aspect of communications and media practice paired with weak follow-through. The material serves both public bodies and commercial organisations dealing with visual media scriptwriting. Participants apply this strand of communications and media practice to their own communications function throughout, so the output is directly usable. The result is the confidence to make and defend decisions about the communications and media practice capability under scrutiny. The course sets out a working method for visual media scriptwriting that participants can apply the week they return. The most reliable predictor of sound this aspect of communications and media practice is whether anyone reviews it when nothing has gone wrong. The course ends by identifying what the participant will stop doing to make the wider communications and media practice agenda sustainable.
