Description

This class is designed to teach the fundamental storytelling elements of screenwriting along with proper screenplay formatting. During the course, students will workshop their ideas, shaping them into a logline. They will then develop an outline and revise it based on instructor and peer feedback.

The class culminates with students writing the first ten pages of their screenplay. In addition, we will read sections from David Howard’s How to Build a Great Screenplay to help sharpen students’ skills as screenwriters.
