The primary purpose of this class is to facilitate and develop a fiction screenplay with emphasis on Act I. Structured as a workshop, students develop a flexible model of a feature script that draws upon the widely used "W" approached developed by Sid Field (see below). While the W approach is flexible and applies to many mainstream and independent movie narratives, it is not the only way of structuring a feature film and should not be taken as such. Students will be expected to learn, master and adapt this model to their own ideas, pitching those ideas, and writing Act I of a script to industry-standard format.
Develop cinematic stories suitable for feature film.Identify traditional screenplay structures, explore alternative structures and recognise when and how to use them.Apply technical knowledge of formatting and presentation in the production of professional screenplay documents.Develop competencies in oral presentation and constructive story critique.Develop and apply personal voice and writing style, as appropriate to screenplay form
