All the films and screenplays chosen for this class are widely considered suitable for high school age students. However, it's crucial for adults to take into account the unique reading capabilities, emotional maturity, and socio-emotional requirements of their specific learner before enrolling them in this class. It's worth noting that some of the selected screenplays delve into complex topics including bullying, survival scenarios, themes of sexuality, and some violence. Parents and guardians should be aware of these elements to ensure a positive and enriching reading experience for their child.
Students will be encouraged to explore free screenwriting software curated by Mitchell, to use during class. No purchases outside of class are required. (In fact, instructor discourages the purchase of any screenwriting software until a student has worked with free software and produced several scripts. Professional screenwriting software is expensive (running from $150-300,) and should be considered an investment in the future, not a pre-requisite for this course.)
