New York University 4 credits Undergrad Film & TV
A vigorous workshop in the craft of adaptation (developing screenplays and teleplays from works of fiction and non-fiction.) The source material covered will include short stories, novels, news items, biographies, and true stories developed from journalistic sources and original research. We'll explore research methods and learn how to evaluate source material to determine which material invites adaptation. Through selection of your own projects (which you will research and develop from pitch to outline to first scenes) you will learn how to translate the essential elements of the source material's story, theme, main characters, and tone into well structured screenplays. This course allocates as Scriptwriting for Film & TV majors. THIS COURSE HAS PREREQUISITES.
