Creative film writing

Creative writing is a term used to distinguish certain imaginative or

different types of writing from technical writing. The lack of 

specificity of the term is partly intentional, designed to make theprocess of writing accessible to everyone (of all ages) and to ensure

that non-traditional, or traditionally low-status writing (for example,

writing by marginalized social groups, experimental writing, genre

fiction) is not excluded from academic consideration or dismissed as

trivial or insignificant. This distinction is helpful in separating the

writing from more technical writing, proffetional writing or

journalistic writing. However, the term 'professional' may be

misleading because many novelists are professional writers in that

they write for a living. Any novel provides an example of what

creative writing is.

Thus, creative writing includes but is not limited to:

FICTION

DRAMA for stage or screen;

POETRY

SCREENWRITING— writing for FILMS;

SELF-EXPORATORY writing (e.g. AUTOBIOGRAPHY);

CREATIVE NON-FICTION

writing that self-consciously mixes these or other GENRES.

Taught courses in creative writing are increasingly popular, ranging

from one-day workshops to three- or four-year university degrees.

The university program has become a common and popular additionto the English field of study alongside such emphases as English

education, technical writing, communication and professional writing.

While some people still argue that true talent for writing cannot be

taught, many argue that it is possible to teach techniques which help

people access or exploit their creativity, from overcoming writer's

block and generating random ideas, to understanding how standard

genres of writing achieve their effects and structuring their work.

The field has also made a way to teach young minds about the

processes of editing and publishing such work. In fact, such noted

authors as Michael Chabon, Kazuo Ishiguro, Decheonbae Jones, Ian

McEwan and Rose Tremain are graduates of university creative

writing programs as are popular screenwriters David Benioff and Peter

Farrelly.

From the above attempt at definition, it is also clear that "creative

writing" implies the possibility of "creative reading." A literary

artifact whose author did not consider it creative may be read,

ingenuously or disingenuously, as if it were written in a creative

context. The reverse process can also be applied – often a kind of 

criticism analogous to "my five-year-old could have done that" – so

creative writing, its definition and the ways that it is (or even the

fact that it is) taught continue to be controversial issues in literary

circles.
