Writing a Screenplay in 10 Weeks

 

WRIT1-CE9692 / $780
SPRING 2012
Continuing Education: Writing and Speech

This intensive writing course takes students from story idea to first draft of a feature-length screenplay in 10 weeks. Using accelerated techniques that focus on character, students learn to develop plots naturally. All participants must come to the first session with a one-to-three-page story idea. They are then expected to write 10 to 15 pages per week. Scripts are due at the final session; the following two weeks are reserved for individual conferences with the instructor. Bring the course workbook, available at the NYU Bookstore, 726 Broadway, to the first session.

Prerequisites: Screenwriting I/WRIT1-CE 9620, Creating Great Scenes/WRIT1-CE9642, or equivalent experience.
