Script Editing Workshop with Philip Shelley

Greenlight Screenwriting Lab: Script Editing Workshop with Philip Shelley

Join us for an immersive one-day introductory workshop designed for new Script Editors seeking to enhance their skills and understanding of Script Editing by gaining valuable insight from industry experts.

As part of the 2024 Greenlight Screenwriting Lab, the NTA Film & TV will host a one-day introduction to Script Editing Workshop with Philip Shelley.

This introductory workshop will start with an overview of a Script Editor’s role and its importance in the filmmaking process.

The workshop will look at how this work is executed, including how to analyse and break down screenplays, and what the industry standard format and enveloping practices for reports, feedback, and note taking look like. The workshop will end with a hands-on script reading and script notes exercises.

Dates/Duration:

Friday the 16th of February, approx. 10.00 - 18.00 in Dublin City Centre
