Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course will enable students to analyze screenplays and other literary material that is considered for production by studios, and other producers of mass entertainment. Students will be required to read classic screenplays, and screen the films on which they are based to understand and identify the strengths and weaknesses of source material. They will learn the critical and writing skills necessary to write a professional evaluation of scripts and treatments, known as "coverage." The course will instruct the student in the skills of the "reader," or "story analyst," so the student recognizes how material is selected, evaluated and revised in the feature film and TV series development. Student's sample coverage may be used for their professional portfolio. CREDIT COURSE LISTINGS & DESCRIPTIONS
