Course Description & Outline

"Making a Scene"-- When writing a script, a writer creates many different types of scenes in order to advance the story, reveal character, and explore the theme. The morning session will look at a variety of scenes and different methods for constructing them.

Types of scenes include:

• The establishing scene and exposition scene
• The confrontation scene
• The montage
• The "magic and wonder" scene
• The reflection scene
• The scene sequence

"Dialogue and Subtext" - The afternoon session explores all the underlying meanings that lie beneath the words, images, and actions in film, which are also applicable to any kind of fiction writing. Replete with examples from films, as well as examples from real life, writing subtext helps the writer figure out how to find and write subtext.

If Story is the body of your screenplay, Dialogue is the glue that holds it all together. Learn advanced techniques in writing true, crisp, dialogue that furthers your story and deepens your characters.
