Escritura de guiones cinematográficos: Creando el viaje de un héroe CAMP

What do films like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Big Hero 6, The Karate Kid, Shazam, Wonder Woman, How to Train Your Dragon (and about a thousand more) have in common?  They all follow the stages of the "Hero's Journey" to create original but still familiar stories that audiences love.  In this multi-week summer camp, students will learn the ingredients necessary to create a story, a hero, and the journey they will take, and then how to put it all together in a proper screenplay.  Throughout all of the classes, learners will be encouraged to write and post their work in the classroom so we can all read the work and share our feedback.  Constructive criticism and positive support is encouraged.

Class 1: We will look at what makes a hero relatable and someone to cheer for on their journey.  We'll also come up with some ideas for our own original hero.
Class 2: We will look at some famous examples of film heroes and how they were made to be sympathetic and relatable.  We'll start to look closely at each stage of the Hero's Journey and how those famous films presented them.  
Class 3: We will finish the stages of the Hero's journey in famous films, and as a class settle on who our hero will be and the world they will live in.     
Class 4: Today we will learn the proper structure of a screenplay using a free online tool (Celtx - the free version!), and start to get our Hero's journey down into scenes. 
Class 5: We will finish by applying the stages of the Hero's journey to a proper screenplay format. Students will leave the class with a clear direction for the kind of story they want to tell and they'll have the tools to tell it.
