(Fomerly Screenwriting II) This course guides students through the development of their feature film ideas, from initial concept to premise to screenplay. Weekly class meetings and writing activities emphasize finding one's voice through the exploration of visual storytelling, dramatic structure, and developing characters. The discussion of student work is complemented by screenings and analysis of innovative films and produced screenplays that push beyond convention. By the end of the semester, students will have mapped the overall story of their films and completed the first act of their screenplays.
