24-6710 Screenwriting II:Feature Film

This course has been developed to provide graduate students from Fiction, Poetry and Film with a variety of experiences (including in-class and out-of-class assignments) designed to hone observation, problem-solving, creativity and writing skills as they apply to developing feature-length screenplays. The class operates as an intensive workshop meeting for several day-long sessions along with individual conferences, usually summer semester. The goal is to help students produce longer (feature-length) and more complex screenplays; to facilitate a deeper understanding of the screenwriting process; to assist students in better developing character, story and linear structure; to assist in developing systematic work habits to carry the student from idea development through revisions to completed script; to provide students with the opportunity for critique of their screenwriting.
