Description
A one semester course open to all institute
students BFA 2 and above , at all levels of experience. Students
will propose, outline and then work to complete a
first draft of an original screenplay. Along the
way students will be introduced to the basics of
working with cards, treatments, story structure,
dialogue and screenplay formatting. Length will
be determined by student experience and
capability, but shorts are emphasized, and features
are not acceptable. In-class presentation and
discussion of in progress drafts is crucial. A
lab setting is the aim here, where we all learn
by doing and talking. Students are required to
purchase Final Draft screenwriting software and
have internet access to email their assignments.
