SAC 309 is a studies elective that is required for the screenwriting sub-concentration program.

This course is an excellant preparation for SAC Screenwriting 310. It will focus in dramatic structure and the emotions a script elicits in its readers. We'll look at these screenplays from the same perspective as a potential actor, director or producer would, asking the same questions they'd ask about the story and characters. Screenwriting as Literature focuses on developing an appreciation of great film screenplays as dramatic literature and an understanding of what characterizes them as such. The readings will progress from a screenplay adaptations and their source materials to original screenplays, covering a broad range of themes and genres. 3 Credits.
