Explore the fundamental concepts of film directing, learn proper film terminology, and develop an understanding of the director's role in creating a film. This course covers the importance of text, the concept of theme, the shaping of performance, and the use of the language of film. You study the work of five great directors, including how their works illustrate their command of the medium and how they succeed in creating their vision. You also examine the elements that make these films work, the development of the directors' styles, and their influence on the relatively new medium of film.
Students will need access to a VCR and video rental facilities in order to view and then critically comment on assigned videos.
Please note: although there is no single required textbook for this course, students will be required to reference some recommended reading materials in their final essay. These books should be readily available from local or online bookstores. |

Designed for students who have a solid grasp of the basic principles of feature-length scriptwriting and have written at least one complete screenplay, this intermediate workshop launches serious writers into the process of creating their next, more viable and sophisticated screenplay. Instruction focuses on developing a premise that can sustain an entire script, creating and refining a full story outline, and writing the first act. Brief lectures on craft issues, generated by the demands and requirements of the participants' work, as well as attention to each writer's individual vision, also are key to the course. The workshop format ensures that students benefit from developing their projects in a supportive environment where they help to solve their peers' writing problems--and thus their own. |
