Average rating:4.9Number of reviews:(342)
In this 4-day camp, aspiring screenwriters will discover the structure of film writing, how to develop engaging stories that audiences will love and practice everything so you can start producing your own screenplay.
Class experience
Screenwriting is different from other kinds of creative writing; it means learning how to tell a story visually in a very precise format that will make sense to all the people needed to help make your movie - costume designers, casting directors, actors, etc.. You need to create and then write your story so that the final image on the movie screen comes close to matching the images from your imagination. In this fun and social 4 day camp, students aged 14 - 18 will plan their own short...
Students will learn the proper formatting and rules of screenwriting. They will also learn some of the tricks of successful screenwriters and develop their own skills as writers.
I have been a senior level English and Writer's Craft teacher for more than 20 years, but beyond that I am a writer of prose and screenplays myself. I've written a Young Adult novel and numerous screenplays. I've worked on-set of film and television productions, and I've been a script reader for production companies.
Homework Offered
Additional writing outside of class time is encouraged, but not mandatory. Learners will be assigned work to do after each of the classes to practice the skills we look at in our classes, and so that they can have work to share with the class on our last class together.1 - 2 hours per week outside of class
Assessments Offered
Students are informally assessed by their screenplay formatting, discussions in class, and through constructive feedback on their writing skills.Grades Offered
When developing stories, we will be open to discuss about some dangerous, romantic, spooky, and/or mildly violent scenes, and then write about them. We will also be watching scenes from films with mature themes. Although the scenes we watch in class will always avoid violence and language, the complete films may not be suitable for every student. Make sure your learner is aware of that.
