CM 408 Screenwriting

A sustained and complete project on writing a feature film screenplay. The emphasis will be on writing visually, as well as introducing tools of critical analysis through critique of student’s original screenplays. Students will learn every aspect of the screenwriting process from story and structure, to outline, to screenplay, to rewriting, to protecting and selling a finished script. The course is designed to be an all-encompassing simulation of what a typical screenwriter will encounter when his/her idea is sold to a Hollywood studio, and developed into a completed screenplay ready for production.
