ENGL 0285 - Basics of Film Writing

Credits: 3

This course will introduce students to screenwriting. They first will learn the syntax of film–the various kinds of shots and how those shots can be combined to create meaning or to tell a story. They will then learn how their own ideas can be transcribed into scripts. They will try their hands at three of the main modes of screenwriting: each student will write a brief documentary, and adaptation, and an original story. Students also will screen and discuss examples of these three kinds of movies.

Prerequisites: ENGL 0101  and ENGL 0102 .
