Description
This course is centered on the art and craft of screenwriting--both the theory behind the work, and the application of that theory. Students will be expected to write consistently throughout the term, a minimum of 10 hours a week, and complete a revised, polished feature-length screenplay by the end of term. Students will also be expected to expand their film vocabulary through viewing selected films and reading the course texts. The goal of this course is to provide a full understanding of the theories and principles behind writing for the screen--and to provide a structure in which those principles and theories can be applied.
