In this course, students will learn the basic principles of visual storytelling: dramatic conflict, action, structure, plot, character, and dialogue. They will read texts about screenwriting, view narrative feature films, pitch a story idea to the class, develop a scene-by-scene outline of their stories, and write, workshop, and revise the first and second acts of their screenplays. Category F.

Prerequisite: Any 200-level ENGL course with a D or better.
