ENGL 3290 - CW: Advanced Screenwriting

Credits: (3)
Typically Taught Fall Semester: Full Sem
Typically Taught Spring Semester: Full Sem
Description: In this advanced course, students will enhance their understanding of screenwriting by studying produced films and workshopping their own original work. We will focus on developing complex characters through action and dialogue, studying and applying the movement of the three-act structure, and creating scenes driven by desire and the obstacles to those desires. In short, students will build on the basics that they have already begun to master and will apply those towards creating more sophisticated work.
Pre-requisite(s): ENGL 2240 or ENGL 2250 or ENGL 2260 or ENGL 2270 or ENGL 2280 or ENGL 2295.
