This course will
thoroughly cover the craft of screenwriting and how it is
used to effectively tell a story. Sessions will include
both screenwriting exercises and script analysis; weekly
assignments will include developing dialogue, story
structure, "communicating" story elements
through visual means, and character development - prepare
to work! Scenes from existing films will be thoroughly
analyzed to reveal structural elements in the
screenwriter's work. At the end of the term, students
will pitch a story for a full-length feature film. |
