ENG 285 - Screenwriting

Institution:

Long Island University-C W Post Campus

Subject:

Description:

Some sections of this course will focus on television writing (in both sixty- and thirty-minute formats), and other sections will deal primarily with writing feature-length films. In either case, this course will help students understand the format, structure, and stylistic conventions of screenplay writing. They will learn how to develop characters and offer a rich visual landscape through dialogue. As with any advanced writing course, it will use a lecture/workshop format, and we will study current film and television writing as models. This course may be taken more than once if the topic is different. Prerequisites of ENG 1 and ENG 2 are required.
