ENGL 387 - Writing for Stage and Screen

Institution:

University of Richmond

Subject:

Description:

Analysis of literary models. Discussion and evaluation of students' own dramatic work. May be taken up to three times for credit. Prerequisite(s): English 200 with a grade of C or better. Unit(s): 1 Additional Information: This is an upper-level course in script and screenplay production that assumes previous experience in creative writing. Over the course of the semester, students submit at least three substantial manuscripts to workshop (examples of a "substantial" manuscript include, among others, a full one-act play or monologue, a single act from a longer play, or a 15-20 page segment of a screenplay). Because of time constraints, reading assignments focus on shorter dramatic forms designed to instruct students in the art of narrative, character-building, and dialogue. Though no experience in acting or stagecraft is required, students might engage in some form of production (e.g. table readings or small-scale presentations of peer work). Technical aspects of scripts and screenplays will also be discussed. This course may be taken up to three times for credit. Prerequisite: English 384 with a grade of C (2.0) or better.
