Upper Primary and Secondary: Scriptwriting and story writing workshops
Television and film now dominate as the most attractive means of communication for children. Reading, though, remains essential. Nicholas Allan’s scriptwriting sessions awaken an interest in writing for those children unresponsive to traditional reading and writing exercises. Utilising Hilltop Hospital, videos of episodes, scripts, storyboards and the £5000 models used in production are shown. Children create their own individual Hilltop scripts and storyboards – ready for production. The story writing workshops use Nicholas’s own best-selling books. The different stages of book production are described with examples. From thinking up ideas, characters, and storylines, the children embark together on producing a finished picture book. If it is good enough, Nicholas will forward it to his editor. One school had a book accepted – and the royalties went to the school! Also offers workshops in the making of picturebooks, creative writing, and scriptwriting for children’s television. Fees negotiable – distance no obstacle.
