Course Description: Story in Fiction and Film

Story in Fiction and Film

55-1305

Fiction has been an important source for cinematic storytelling since its earliest incarnations. This class critically explores the elements of fiction writing as they are translated on film: voice, point of view, dialogue, scene, structure, and other fictional forms. Students will view films, and read fictional excerpts, discuss techniques, and hear speakers, studying how these elements can be used to heighten their own stories. This course will be helpful for students interested in studying fiction, film, and other arts and media disciplines.
