A299: You, Too, Can Write Movies! in Splash Spring 2020 (Apr. 18, 2020)
Why do shows like Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad attract such a following? Why are we so invested in the Avengers rising victorious over Thanos? What makes a show like Firefly or a movie like the Rocky Horror Picture Show a "cult classic"? What actually goes into making these forms of media?
In this class we will watch a few instances of compelling visual storytelling, discuss what makes them tick, and then collectively form a writer's room and create our own, brainstorming characters and settings before writing a scene. Get ready to think about screenwriting in a way you may never have before!
