SCREEN 302

Creating Serial Narratives


Please note: this is archived course information from 2019 for SCREEN 302.

Description

SCREEN 302 is a course about creating scripted narratives for the web. We conceive, write and produce a narrative of three episodes – each episode being a maximum of 5 minutes long.

Students will be introduced to the processes of idea generation, pitching, script development, casting, set etiquette, lighting, shot selection and composition (with limited work on directing actors). This is an intensive, workshop-style production class. All assignments are in groups, just as all industry-generated web series and television shows are created by groups. Creative collaboration is a key skill that this course encourages you to develop. For the final group assignment, however, you will be graded on your individual contribution.

Provisional class limits information for 2019: Enrolment is limited to 20 students. Students must have successfully completed both SCREEN 200 and 201.
