CRW 377 Screenwriting

This course is designed to teach students the craft of screenwriting by helping them master, among other things, the format and stylistic conventions followed when writing film scripts, the skill of telling a story with images and sounds, and the ability to render dialogue, characters, and dramatic situations both convincingly and compellingly. Students will learn to become proficient in these areas and others by compiling, over the course of the semester, a screenwriting portfolio comprising one or more short film scripts, as well as the first act of a feature film script. Prerequisite: FCO 105.
