Course Description: Story and Script: Fiction Techniques for the Media
55-5302
The main emphasis of this course is upon the adaptation of prose fiction to script form-film, play, radio, or television. The course attends to the rich variety of ways in which imaginative prose fiction techniques- image, scene, dialogue, summary narrative, point of view, sense of address, movement, plot, and structure-and fiction material are used in the arts and communication fields such as advertising, scriptwriting for film, television, video, radio, and other visual and sound media. The class discusses connections and contrasts of prose fiction versions and film versions of classic and contemporary works. Students may also write stories in prose fiction form and then in script or other media forms.
