This writing intensive course examines the creative process behind storytelling and scriptwriting for various forms of media, while allowing students the opportunity to create a marketable screenplay for any form of mass-mediated communication. Students will examine how narrative is created, including the development of both story and plot; the creation of multi-dimensional characters; the development of dialogue and stage direction for dramatic effect; formatting; and how to revise for various genres.
