For those who have always wanted to write for the screen but had no idea where and how to start. Over this eight-week course, students will learn, develop and/or strengthen their skills in story structure, character development, and dialogue through writing, reading, and viewing assignments.
Weekly writing prompts will be given, then read and discussed in class, using a structured feedback paradigm, aimed at strengthening the beginning student's visual storytelling skills.
The final project will be an original, self-contained short screenplay (10-15 pages) which students will outline, write and revise during the last 3 weeks of the class.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
