CW224

This course introduces students to the basic terminology, tools and media of contemporary scriptwriting, with specific emphasis and practice in telling stories destined for the stage, television, film, comics, and/or games. Course time will be spent in a combination of lecture blended and peer critique in a workshop setting. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have learned the basics in the craft of scriptwriting, conceived a workable idea, formulated an outline for the expression/ execution of that idea, and made significant work towards a complete and cohesive script for a stage production, television pilot/series, film, comics series/graphic novel, or board/videogame. This course counts as a studio elective for all other areas of concentration.
