24-4730 Script Development Practicum

Course familiarizes students with the short film as a distinct form and learn the range of ways fictional short films can be originated along with associated best practices, including legal and ethical considerations. Students will establish and nurture creative partners capable of finding and developing viable short scripts from a wide range of source material; facilitate a deeper understanding of the creative and legal aspects of the film development process; and yield production-ready shooting scripts for the spring practicum production cycle that maximize the potential of the short film form to deliver concentrated (primarily visual) narrative.
