Students perform close critical and creative readings of screenplays, demonstrating fluent comprehension and depth of understanding. Students critically identify and evaluate the use of historical conventions, structures, and literary techniques common to screenplay writing, as found in the works of professional writers, peers, and self. Students apply advanced writing techniques for image, voice, character, setting, structure, and mechanics necessary to compose a portfolio of original creative work. Students compose various original scenes and a short screenplay through independent writing practice, and subsequently reflect on, evaluate, and re-evaluate serial revisions. Through developmental exercises, workshops, and peer review, students engage independently and collaboratively in critical and creative processes. Students communicate using cognitive and affective skills to engage specific audiences with the discerning use of abstract and concrete language. Prerequisites: 6 credits of first-year English (with the exception of ENGL 1150) or equivalent and completion of 45 credits or permission of the instructor or department chair ENGL 1150 is recommended. Note: Students will only receive credit for one of CRWR 3410 and ENGL 3410.
