Although homework is never assigned, I encourage learners to keep writing when not in class. I like them to brainstorm new characters, plot lines, details and locati9on to use in writing sessions.Class Experience
Script writing that is focused around dialogue. We will look at grammar, but more focused on realism in the scripts. each student will help in the brainstorming sessions to create the characters, locations and plots line. we will edit and rewrite during the class and then perform the scene(s) we create. Each learner will have the opportunity to participate in the areas that will showcase thier skills and also be challenged to work on the areas needing improvement. This is an ongoing class and our goal is to complete and perform a new script every class. we will also have time allocated to working on scripts that are a work in progress. Week One: Characters and use of dialogue. Week Two: How dialogue creates the relationship between characters. Week Three: Editing dialogue to get the most impact with less words Week Four: Setting the scene and using character dialogue to make it real Every class will incorporate significant time to writing and performing scripts created by the learners.
Learning Goals
We will cover the C.O.R.E. elements of creating a scene for movies, anime, video games and plays. The focus is on the dialogue between characters. We will explore techniques in creating great locations and the relationship between characters. learners will also get to perform the scripts with an evaluation session at the end of class. Skills in Writing, Improv, Acting, and the ability to share ideas is highly recommended. We will write, edit and rewrite scripts each day. We will also work on the individual projects.
