Screenwriting II

Catalog description

This advanced screenwriting course builds upon the foundational skills developed in Screenwriting I, focusing on rewriting, peer feedback, and deeper exploration of character and theme. Students will write two short scripts (10–15 pages each) and participate in intensive workshop sessions where scripts are read aloud, analyzed, and refined. Emphasis is placed on the revision process—incorporating feedback, strengthening dialogue and structure, and sharpening character arcs—to prepare students for more complex screenwriting projects and professional critique environments. May be repeated up to 6 credits. Restricted to ENGL, DFM, ANVE majors. Crosslisted with: ENGL 480.
