1 1 UCLA Extension Writers Program Public Syllabus Note to students: this public syllabus is designed to give you a glimpse into this course and instructor. If you have further questions about our courses or curriculum, please contact the Writers Program at (310) or via at writers@uclaextension.edu. We are happy to answer any questions and to help you find the best class to achieve your writing goals. WRITING THE FIRST SCREENPLAY II X 440B Wed PM INSTRUCTOR: ANDY GUERDAT GOAL: To refresh your understanding of the basics of the craft of screenwriting, while completing the first act of your screenplay. For those students who have taken Screenwriting I from the instructor, each week the material covered will provide a refresher on a given aspect of screenwriting, as well as a more in-depth discussion than covered in the prior course. For those who have not taken a prior course from the instructor, the weekly lecture and discussion will introduce the students to the instructor s screenwriting theories and terminology. IN CLASS: Writing in Hollywood is a communal effort, so it s essential that you participate in class. Listen, read and critique the work of your fellow students. You ll learn as much from dissecting others work as from developing your own. Plus, you ll be learning how to work in a creative environment that s as much like a typical notes session as possible. And listen when your classmates critique your work. You ll never have another opportunity to have your work evaluated in such a safe environment. Only constructive criticism is allowed. Be sure you re trying to make a fellow student s work better. If you re trying to make yours look better at someone else s expense, the instructor will quickly correct your misconception. Feel free to ask dumb questions. This is the place to do it. Have fun. If you re not getting any joy from conceiving your movie, chances are no one else is going to enjoy reading it. Take your work seriously; not yourself. HOMEWORK: All assignments must be typed. All scenes must be written in a professional screenplay format. FINAL DRAFT software is recommended. If you don t want to invest in either of these programs, the instructor can provide you with a basic screenwriting program in Word.
2 2 SUGGESTED VIEWING LIST: The movies I suggest you watch may help illuminate some or all of the points covered in class. As well as how the rules are often broken. More importantly, the list may open a hitherto unknown world of great films to you. But it s not required that you watch any of them. I ve tried to include films of every different genre - from horror to family drama to romantic comedy - so that each student may find films that directly relate to his or her screenplay. SUGGESTED READING: As many screenplays as you can and the Writers Guild library are just some sources for finding screenplays. When online, however, be wary of transcripts and other nerd-bowdlerized versions of produced movies. None of the many How To books about screenwriting are necessary to read, and many are harmful to the creative process, especially for young writers. I don t recommend any of them. But a few books are thought-provoking in a tangential way. Among them: ADVENTURES IN THE SCREEN TRADE by William Goldman THE ART OF DRAMATIC WRITING by Lajos Egri POETICS by Aristotle ON DIRECTING FILM by David Mamet MAKING MOVIES by Sidney Lumet SUPPLEMENTS: The class will receive supplemental attachments: A glossary of film terms. A basic Word screenwriting template for those who don t have screenwriting program. A formatting guide. A completed, produced screenplay to use as a reference. INSTRUCTOR S SHORTHAND: When critiquing scripts, the instructor uses shorthand to save time and muscle cramps. When you see a notation in the margin of your returned script, this is the key: R = reality check. Something about this line or story beat doesn t feel truthful. O = too obvious. The sentiment is right, but it s stated to so blatantly, one can feel the writer s hand. P = punch. The right idea, but it could be presented in a funnier or more powerful way. W = wording. Again, the right idea, but the wording feels awkward.? = huh? Just don t get what you re going for. GRADING: Attendance: 25 points Class participation: 25 points Homework assignments: 25 points Screenplay pages: 25 point
3 3 A = points B = points C = points D = points F = less than 60 points WEEK 1: THE BEGINNING 9/22 Students hand in their completed outlines. Who the heck am I and what makes me think I can teach you screenwriting? Who the heck are you and why do you want to write movies? Trusting your gut.
