CRW 242 Writing for the Screen II
An overview of feature film story structure and detailed instruction on creating the "blueprint" for storytelling that we call the outline. Students will learn standard Hollywood film story structure as well as how to construct scenes with compelling action, believable reactions and escalating conflict that builds within the scene, while also elevating the stakes of the entire story. Students are expected to complete a full outline with 50 – 100 scenes for their original feature film by the end of the semester. Writing for the Screen I and II may be taken in either sequence. Focus of the course will be determined by the instructor. May be repeated as topic varies.
