COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is intended as a gateway course to the professional level of writing for the screen. Students entering this course should already have sufficient experience in this specialty to have high confidence in their own potential as screenwriters. Focus of the course therefore will be on the further exploration of screenplay structure, analysis of movies during class screenings, and intensive writing every week toward a completed future screenplay. This course will require creation of synopses, treatments, outlines, and script- together with practice in critique and editing of class screenplays in progress. There will be no incompletes.
