Prose into Pictures
Circumstances often call upon writers to script material that
is not their own. In adapting narratives for the screen, writers must decide what to say and what to show or what to ignore completely. Either way, the script must be made visual. In this class, students examine and discuss adaptations of prose pieces into scripted scenes. They create adapted scenes of their own based on their own decisions and on the decisions of others. Students also create a working split script and/or storyboard ready for further breakdown.

Screenwriting
With a working knowledge of the screenwriter’s craft, students focus on the three dynamics of a good screenplay or teleplay: Character, dialog, and action. Classroom discussions focus on examples of plot development, character creation, voice and point of view. In addition, students participate in practical in- class exercises that focus on these story creation elements in the context of proper formatting and grammar. A completed script for a short film or a substantive excerpt for a feature will be produced by the end of this course.

Investigating a Situation
This course addresses how writers translate everyday situations, whether amusing or annoying, into a compelling film experience. Through voiceover and action, students will examine PSAs, news stories, and short documentaries to determine what makes for
a dynamic analysis of a situation that motivates its audiences to act. Students then craft a series a series of PSAs or a short documentary on a situation personally relevant that calls its audience to action.

Imagined worlds
Ask avid readers what they enjoy so much about their favorite genres, and they will inevitably cite their emersion in a world unlike their own and yet very like their own. Writers create these worlds—their physical descriptions, properties, and attributes— and their inhabitants—their abilities, their potential story arcs and adventures, and yes, even their occasional conversations. All this description becomes a writer’s bible. In this course, students will create a writer’s bible in preparation for world building of their own.
