Description

Class Experience

There is no prior experience or knowledge required for new learners.
As an instructor, I like to have my classes be as participatory as possible, with an open forum for learners to ask questions whenever needed. Unlike previous classes I have taught, this one will have a lecture component to make sure the historical context of the topic is covered, but that will not be the entire class. I believe that students learn best by participating in their own pursuits, not just taking notes to review...

Students will learn the history of blockbuster filmmaking, how trends have changed over the years, and where trends are heading in the future. To understand what Hollywood is planning next, we first must learn what it has built its foundations on.

I have an MFA in screenwriting. No movie will be taught that is Rated-R in this course and learners must be at least 13-years-old so that PG-13 movies can be used.

Any work learners do outside of class is not required and is completely optional.

A notebook or word processing application to take notes and answer short prompts.

Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.

1 hour 10 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
