CMAP 4581 - Writers Room

(3 Credit Hours
Prerequisite: ENGL 3822, ENGL 3842, and FILM 3030 with a grade of “C” or better
In this advanced course, students will work collaboratively in the development of original scripts for film, television and/or theater. Students will continue to refine the techniques learned in the prerequisite screenwriting courses, such as pitching ideas, developing treatments and outlines, and proper formatting. Students will also be asked to revise and refine their ideas through rewrites. Throughout the semester students will work as a team, coming up with ideas and breaking them into acts or scenes before an individual writer turns the story into a finished script.
