Master's thesis of Arts: Theme-led script development

This practice-led research project takes the form of a one-hour television script and an accompanying dissertation that explores how theme can be used as the primary craft tool for the development of what is anticipated to be a compelling screen work. The dissertation is structured to reflect the integrated nature of theory and practice from the earliest stages of the development (the concept, creation of the world and characters) on to the plotting of the narrative and, finally, the writing of individual scenes.
