Writing for Stage & Screen
About the Course
Students will need either a laptop or notebook for writing.
This class introduces students to writing stories for the screen and gives them opportunities to write their own. Students will learn screenplay formatting as they study the structures of classic screenplays, and films made from those screenplays. Over the course of the intensive, they will write several scripts that demonstrate their growing understanding of classic Aristotelian ideas of the three-act structure, character development, dialogue, and alternative narrative forms.
While this intensive may be taken independently, it is an elective that is designed to work in conjunction with our Film Intensive 4-week program. Please see that description here or email plus@cornish.edu if you have any questions.
