How a class runs

From the brief to the mark.

  1. A clipboard of ticks beside a calendar with one day circled 1

    The brief

    Teachers set an assignment with a brief, a rubric and a due date. It lands on every student’s calendar at once.

  2. A student at a desk, writing a screenplay page 2

    The work

    Students start the script, treatment, beat sheet or bible straight from the brief, in the format the course asks for.

  3. A screenplay sliding into a letterbox, with a green tick 3

    The hand in

    One press hands in a PDF set to the brief’s own rules: Courier 12, the right spacing, the right file name.

  4. A script page with red pen notes and a gold star 4

    The marks

    Notes on the page and a mark for each rubric line. Assistants draft, and the teacher releases.

The page

A real screenplay editor.

The page students write on, set the way the industry sets it.

A screenplay page as students write it: the opening scene of a pilot called The Quota

In class

Built for how film is taught.

  • Students around a table, one reading aloud with an arm raised

    Table reads

    A student puts a script on the table. The teacher hosts, passes the pen and takes it back. Notes go on lines and on whole pages.

  • Two students swapping scripts and pointing at each other’s notes

    Feedback rounds

    Peer coverage in pairs the teacher can pick by hand, with every piece visible where it is marked.

  • A student crew with a camera and a boom planning a shoot at a stripboard

    The production office

    Crew groups break the script down and plan the shoot: shots, days and the paperwork a set runs on.

No AI. Ever.

There is no AI in WritersBox for School, and there never will be. Every word a student hands in is their own.
