CW324

This course builds on Introduction to Scripting, giving students creative time to practice and employ methods learned. It focuses on terminology, tools and media of contemporary scriptwriting in consideration of the stage, television, film and/or comics alongside analysis of successful work by professionals in the field. Course time will be spent in a combination of lecture and peer critique in a workshop setting. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have put into practice the basics of the craft of scriptwriting, conceived a workable idea, formulated an outline for the expression/execution of that idea, and maintained creative momentum toward a complete and cohesive script for a stage production, television pilot, film or graphic novel. They will have also closely considered the work of a professional in the field and written a detailed analysis and presentation of that writer's work.This course counts as a studio elective for all other areas of concentration.
