TFM 0610 Seminar in Writing for TV and Film (The Writers' Room: Creating a TV Series )
Writers’ rooms, long a staple of TV, are making inroads into screenwriting and other venues, so it’s necessary to understand the social and creative dynamics from the inside. Starting from zero, students in this eight-week intensive course will take part in the creation of a theoretical TV series from concept to the development of characters, situations and stories, culminating in teams being selected to write the first three scripts of the series. (This is strictly an academic exercise, not the creation of an actual series.) Non-dramatic and dramatic structures as they apply to non-fiction and fiction television programs and films. Writing full length script or scenario.

TFM 0610.01 Seminar in Writing for TV and Film (Big Bucks: The One-Location Script - Horror - Drama - Thriller)
One-location scripts have long been recognized as a sweet spot for first-time directors and Hollywood producers for their low cost and potential for high returns. Recently, Jordan Peele’s “Get Out” (2017) catapulted into the critical stratosphere winning both the Oscar and the Writers’ Guild Award for the Best Original Screenplay. In this class, you’ll choose a genre, and examine how this subset, the one-location script, works with respect to story conventions, genre theory and spectatorship via script analyses and critical readings. You'll exit the class with a logline, character bios, outline, and the first ten pages of your ‘One-Location' script. Non-dramatic and dramatic structures as they apply to non-fiction and fiction television programs and films. Writing full length script or scenario.
