SCREEN 302

Creating Serial Narratives


Please note: this is archived course information from 2017 for SCREEN 302.

Description

Enables students to create scripted narratives for television or the web. Examines the history of serial and episodic narratives as well as the current audiences and platforms for both broad and niche shows. Students will conceive, write and produce a serialised narrative.

Class limits information for 2017: Enrolment is limited to 15 students. Students are selected by a Screen Committee: students must have successfully completed the Screen Minor (Screen 200/Screen 201) with a B average and above and submitted an application to the Screen Committee for the Screen Major (Stage 3xx). This application will include certain questions and work samples.

Justification: This is a resource-heavy course (camera/sound equipment, check-in/out and tech maintenance, access to limited editing and audio suites) as well as project heavy. As an experiential learning course with intensive workshopping, demonstrations and project based teaching, small class sizes are required to adequately attend to each student.
