Senior Sem in Screenwriting · Film (Sch Of The Arts)
fundamentals of feature film structure, tools to implement on my own work
I really enjoyed this course and Professor Caplin's blunt honesty. I think it was a great exercise in practicing cohesive and clear storylines. The emphasis on the 'outline' was really, really helpful in honing my writing.
A lot about screenwriting and the structure of films.
This is a great opportunity for film majors to write a feature-length and get comprehensive and fun feedback. This class is very relaxed and very fun.
I wouldn't recommend it to someone who's not a senior film major looking to do a screenwriting thesis. 1 Columbia University: Arts & Sciences Fall 2021 Course: FILMUN3920_001_2021_3-SENIORSEMINSCREENWRITING : FILMUN3920_001_2021_3 - SENIOR SEM IN SCREENWRITING Instructor: Loren Caplin
