Research Projects
”Gardeners & Architects” by Alexander Skantze
“Gardeners & Architects – Writing from the beginning or writing from the end: prospective versus retrospective screenwriting” is a research project by Alexander Skantze, Assistant professor of Film and Media.
There are different ways to create a screenplay – freewriting from a spontaneous idea, or more planned with a determined end. Two different processes that I systematically explore.
Aim and research questions
I explore prospective versus retrospective writing practices, focusing on processes as well as results.
Research implementation and anticipated impact
I and three other screenwriters write two short screenplays each. I document the process and compare the screenplays. The results will be of value for both the practice and teching of screenwriting.
