To carry out the creation of any type of script, it is necessary to acquire a series of skills that allow the idea to be put into practice and make it work. From the initial idea and its historical process, to the legal elements involved. Keeping up to date in this area is necessary, even if the scriptwriter's basic skills are in-depth or if they have extensive experience in the world of film and short films. In addition, it is not only enough to know the fundamentals of the processes that must be carried out for the creation of the script, but it is also important to incorporate the necessary information for its pre-production, production and post-production, viewing the process as a whole in an integral manner.

The first part of the syllabus covers the phases prior to script creation: the characters, their evolution and the different techniques available for their creation and development. We then move on to the second part, which explains plot creation, its different phases and subphases, types and subtypes.
