FURTHER AND HIGHER EDUCATION
Students in Film Schools and Universities all work on a wide range of projects, both individually and collaboratively. As a working tool, BPC-Screenplay enables them to develop their ideas to a higher creative level than traditional text based scripts before going into production and to maintain a record of their personal creative contribution to projects. Students of scriptwriting can use the programme to explore the cinematic characteristics of projects which are not intended for production, enabling tutors to evaluate students work as their courses proceed in a broader context than tradition development stage documentation allows.
The programme has been designed with a small footprint to make it easy to use and install in laptops and pc's running with Windows XP, or VISTA with .NET2.
SECONDARY EDUCATION
Alongside projects for production, the programme contributes to developing media literacy and the exploration of film-language, as the combination of images and sound in time. Students can explore the structure of genre and production forms in film and television and proceed towards developing their own creative concepts. Use the programme to plan coverage of events.
Using the programme with 13 year olds, they found BPC-Screenplay easy to use and intuitive to learn.
BPC-Screenplay may be especially useful towards building portfolios of projects within the British '14-19 Creative and Media Diploma'. BPC-Screenplay projects will enable teachers to provide a fair evaluation of students' work which, for whatever reason, has not been selected for production.
BPC-Screenplay has been approved by Curriculum Online, a British Government Agency for Software in Education.
The UK Educational site licence covers the installation of the programme on all computers used for educational purposes in the school, including staff, student and parent's machines. Teaching notes are available free.
PRIMARY EDUCATION
While children are expert film and tv viewers from an early age, they are less familiar with production. Try BPC-Screenplay with children as soon as they have begun writing sentences and let us know how you succeed!
Anyone with a single, or educational licence for BPC-Screenplay is free to use it with primary age children and to install it on their school's computers without further charge.
