SCRP 1000 Foundational Storytelling 3.0 Credits
This course introduces students to the core building blocks of story from the perspective of the entertainment industry, where stories are produced for mediums other than literary: film, television, the stage, graphic novels, video games and digital delivery. Through readings, lectures, discussions and screenings, the class delves into the unique considerations of stories created or adapted for production as visual entertainment artifacts. Analytic examinations of core story-telling differences between various mediums will also be highlighted, to give students insight in later production and studies courses in their chosen medium of expression. In addition to analytic and creative writing, students will explore how to “pitch” their own life stories.
