Course Description

This is a lecture course designed to provide writers and directors with a thorough understanding of screenplay structure, from the basic to the rococo. Each week, students will watch a feature film outside of class, then analyze it structurally in class. Students will also read and parse Robert McKee’s Story, a dense but rewarding guide to the techniques of cinematic storytelling. Finally, lectures will include numerous modules on particular structures, genres, and storytelling paradigms.
