The present project-creative graduate qualification thesis presents the script materials of the projects in the thriller genre: the feature film ‘User Agreement’ and the horizontal series ‘Survivalist Contract’, as well as a set of loglines included in the industrial multi-genre script portfolio of the author of the paper. Additionally, the study presents an analysis of dramaturgical parameters and instruments for the production of the presented original screenwriting projects (in particular, the theoretical aspect of the construction of dramatic discourse in the structure of narrative). In the further development of the projects stated above (including ‘User Agreement’ and ‘Survivalist Contract’), it is envisaged to search for a production and distribution company to emerge as potential customers for the projects. Further development of draft synopses, characters, sequences, and individual scenes will also be progressed as required.
