Class Experience

What’s the difference between writing a script for film or TV? How do you know if your creative vision is meant for the big or small screen? What steps does it take to get an idea from conception to reality?  If you don’t know the answers to these questions, this class is for you! 
Through lively discussion and interaction, students will learn a brief overview of the stages of production, and discuss the dynamics of different types of scripts. This class is a great precursor to my upcoming classes and camps on script writing and film production.

Learning Goals

Students will learn the five stages of film and television production. Students will also learn how to know if their idea is better suited for television or film, and discuss the differences in scripts for each genre. Students will leave the class with steps they can take to begin developing their idea for a script.
