Writing Movies II

This course will focus on completing scripts begun in the first semester or in other classes. Once the first drafts are finished, students will work on editing and revising their screenplays. By trimming excess dialogue, rewriting dramatic beats, restructuring narrative elements, and excising scenes or sequences in their entirety, students will learn the art of rigorous revision and emerge at semester’s end with a well-crafted, polished, feature-length screenplay.
