24-1710 Scrnwriting I: Writing the Short Film

Course is a workshop that explores basic methods of film writing and further develops the students’ skills in presenting their film ideas in written form. Students will develop craft skills basic to film and video writing: research, story development, scene structure, dialogue, and character definition. Emphasis is on finding visual equivalents for human emotions and on developing the writer’s individual personal vision. This work culminates in the development and revision of two short narrative scripts. Instrumental in the development of the student as a writer is the ability to read, and effectively critique, the work of their peers.
