FLM 260 Screenwriting Workshop

In this course, students will practice the art of cinematic storytelling. Through classroom discussion of assigned screenplays, films, and textbook readings, students will strengthen their familiarity with the structural elements of a screenplay and will work toward the completion of their own screenplays. During the first half of the semester, students will learn general guiding elements of dramatic structure and character development in a variety of styles and during the second half of the term, students will present their own screenplays-in-progress in a supportive, workshop setting.
