Writing for Film and Video

With special attention to project development, research, scene design and rehearsal, the course introduces students to the ways in which writing creates meaning in moving images through script formatting, internal and external structure, world of story, description, narration and dialogue, and mise-en-scene. From idea to pitch, from script to production, this course emphasizes the structural character of the script-writing process and preproduction. The class will analyze different scripting techniques in traditional and experimental nonfiction film and video.

Studio Production: Interviews

This intermediate level production course places the interview as the locus of inquiry in order to explore, respond to, and express the ways in which social issues such as racism, economic inequality, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, bullying, hate speech and hate crimes, disability, incarceration, to name a few, affect us. In Interview Practices, Dialogue and Conversation in Studio Video Production, students create, research and analyze the process of producing scripted, story-based, socially engaged, short nonfiction and experimental videos.
