Students are introduced to the process of preparing a story to be told in a visual medium. Students learn the basics of script and screenplay writing by participating in basic skills exercises, including dialogue emulation and performance, script-to-screen analysis, and scene adaptation. To produce effective screenplays, students develop their own toolkit for overcoming challenges in idea conception, story structure, and dialogue. Coursework will result in scripts suitable for production in later courses. This is a writing-intensive course.
May be repeated for credit.
