1 WRITING THE FIRST SCREENPLAY - I April 14 through June 16, 2015 Instructor: Hank Nelken Course Description The first in a 4-part sequence designed to take you through the full process of writing a feature film screenplay, this course grounds you in the key craft elements of story structure, plot, scene development, character, theme, genre, and dialogue, and shows you how they work together to grip an audience's emotions. You learn how to create and evaluate story ideas; explore how characters' inner wants and immediate goals shape and drive a screenplay's action; see what constitutes compelling plots and subplots; and learn how to construct a scene. Throughout the course, you complete a series of exercises which serve as the basis for your script outline, a prose description of your screenplay. The course goal is to learn how to write effective, compelling scenes and to create a 4-5 page outline which clearly delineates your script's beginning, middle, and end. The ability to write an effective outline is a critical skill for the professional screenwriter, serves as the basis for most pitches, and is required for admission into X 440B Writing the First Screenplay II. As UCLA's principal provider of continuing education, the majority of UCLA Extension courses are designed for the post-baccalaureate professional-level student. Enrollment is therefore normally reserved for adult students 18 years of age and older. The Writers Program may consent to enroll younger students based on special academic competence and approval of the instructor. Students who enroll in a Writers Program course without first receiving permission of the instructor are subject to withdrawal. To request the instructor s approval, please contact the Writers Program. Workshopping Guidelines My one and only rule of workshop is this: encourage each other in a positive, constructive, non-judgemental manner so that we create an environment where everyone feels safe enough to fail. In other words, don t be a jerk. Grades are based on a 100 point system. 50 points - written assignments 25 points - participation in class 25 points - attendance Writers Program Contact: If you need assistance with any administrative issues with regard to this class please contact the Writers Program directly at (310) /Writers@uclaextension.edu
