This class introduces students to the art of storytelling for the screen through lectures, discussions, writing exercises, films clips, workshopping and peer critique. Students are grounded in basic elements of craft such as plot, theme, character development, dialogue and building conflict. The work will be practical and intuitive as students hone a unique storytelling structure en route to creating richly layered, compelling stories for the screen. Students will draft a first act of a three-act screenplay. Tuesdays, September 22November 10, 710pm San Francisco Film Centre www.sffs.org
