SCREENWRITING ESSENTIALS
Teacher: David Hickey

2010 SPRING SEMESTER
Mondays, February 8 - March 22, 6:30-8:30pm THIS SESSION IS FULL

2010 SUMMER SEMESTER
TBA

This course teaches not only the proper formatting and structure of screenplays but guides students to thoroughly examine the art of storytelling so that they can find their original voices and develop deliberately constructed narratives that are cogent and enthralling and yet feel perfectly organic.

In this course, we will analyze the typical Hollywood 3-Act Structure in order to gain a greater understanding of how writers must have full commands of their characters, the characters' foibles or weaknesses, the conflicts that will confront the characters and how they will resolve them. Screenwriting Essentials will provide you with all of the necessary tools to lay the foundation for any story you wish to tell.

Who Should Attend: People who want to learn everything there is to know about writing a good script, and those working towards their ASoF Digital Video Certificate.

Prerequisites:  None necessary.

ASoF Certificate: ASoF Digital Video Certificate elective class.
