CORE COURSES -
2ND SEMESTER
SCREENWRITING 2
This course advances the storytelling concepts covered in Screenwriting 1 by employing dialogue, exploring
inner and outer motivations, and additional subplot
devices. Students write and develop short narrative
scripts to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts.
They use this opportunity to embark on writing
scripts for a feature length screenplay or for their individual
thesis film project.
FILM DIRECTING 2
Students are assigned advanced level storytelling projects
to develop their individual directorial styles. Through this
course students explore the relationship between the
director and the actor. Studio exercises allow student
directors to work with both experienced and inexperienced
film actors to learn the delicate art of acting for the camera.
Student directors will learn how to articulate character
motivations, pull performances, or properly execute eyelines
and the axis. Blocking and staging techniques train students
to direct their work within the confines of the cinematic
frame.
Students conduct a large scale casting call through
which they learn techniques for strategic casting and
coming to know the film “look”. From there, read throughs
and rehearsals give the student director a “real world” and
practical experience to mold their thesis film projects.
