RTVF 114 A-Z - Advanced Television WritingSemester Hours: 3
Periodically
This course provides students with an opportunity to develop and write a sample script for an established program as well as a script for an original program. To deepen and contextualize the student’s knowledge of this genre, the course analyzes a series of classic radio and television programs spanning more than five decades. Students participate in the brainstorming of script ideas, analyzing and rewriting of early drafts, creating show rundowns and outlines, and polishing dialogue and characterization. At the heart of this collaborative writing process lies the most critical responsibility of a professional television writer — listening and providing feedback to other writers, pitching original story ideas, and the craft of collaboration to solve story problems.
