MSCR3389 (Screenwriting: Short Film) course reviews and ratings at Northeastern (NEU). Compare professors with RateMyProfessor reviews.
Approaches the unique narrative form of the dramatic short film, with the goal of having students produce a short film screenplay (under 20 minutes in length) that could eventually be shot. Takes students through the storytelling process─from conception to visualization, dramatization, characterization, and dialogue─ending in a project that should reflect the student’s own personal voice and unique vision. Offers students an opportunity to work on many writing exercises involving free association, visualizations, and character explorations and to evaluate and critique each other’s work in a workshop setting.
