The Screenwriter's Craft

 

WRIT1-CE9661 / $580
SPRING 2012
Continuing Education: Writing and Speech

If you're a screenwriter, or simply love the cinema and want to understand how the written word translates to screen, this class provides essential insight into the "understructure" of film. Each week, examine the screenplay of a movie that is shown in the next class. Lively discussion sessions follow the screening and touch on craft elements; including characterization, dialogue, plot, theme, scene writing, conflict, adaptation, action, and comedy. Additional readings, interviews with screenwriters, and other related materials support class discussion. Writing exercises complement each week's lesson.
