Developing the Treatment for Feature Films

Catalog description

This class prepares the students to develop their next writing projects, which may include short screenplays, and longer form work such as feature or television scripts. The class analyzes scripts and films and uses a combination of lecture and exercises to pursue the practice and theory of conceptualizing and writing more complex narratives. Students will complete the class with developed concepts or outlines, and be prepared to write a thesis script over the summer.
