Specifically tailored for film, this course will guide students through the steps of writing believable character-driven dialogue. With specific in-class writing exercises, students will be able to identify what makes dialogue interesting, believable and workable. They will create short scenes, from one to three pages long, which they will edit in-between classes. At the end of the course, students are expected to hand in a finished collection of scenes that demonstrate their ability to produce effective film dialogue.
