FMX 341 Screenwriting Shorts

A writing intensive workshop course designed to generate and refine short-form script-writing for narrative filmmaking, animation, and other short-form narrative media. Students will analyze short narratives in cinema, literature, and other media, and explore structure, character, situational drama and conflict, and cinematic modes of the short form story on screen through workshops of original stories, revised screenplays, and stories adapted for screens from previously-written material. This is a writing intensive course, and may be used to fulfill the general distribution requirements for the humanities, if not used in the major.
