The film industry has a constant craving for fresh new ideas; indeed, there has never been a better time for the aspiring screenwriter. In this intensive course designed to teach screenwriting skills to the beginner and develop the skills of more advanced writers, a professional screenwriter guides students in developing a feature-length screenplay - from idea to outline to script. The focus is on structure, character development, format and narrative techniques that meet industry standards. Films, both commercially and critically successful, are analyzed to help students sharpen their dramatic writing skills and film fluency. In addition, the instructor discusses procedures for establishing a career as a professional screenwriter.
