Description

This course emphasizes the structural character of the script writing process. The class will analyze different scripting techniques in traditional and experimental non-fiction film and video. With special attention to development and format, the course focuses on writing and it will introduce students to the ways in which writing and meaning are created in moving images through concepts such as mise-en-scene, dialogue, and the world of story narration. From idea to pitch, from script to production, students will develop the treatment and production schedule to produce three short dialogue or interview-driven videos.
