This class meets Saturday, April 7 and Saturday, April 14 from 9:00 a.m. – 4:50 p.m.
Instructor:  Kevin May

This two-day workshop will focus on the craft of building and refining resume reels. We will explore various ways of creating reels by looking at different editing workflows in both Final Cut Pro X and Adobe Premiere. We will evaluate different editing styles such as montage and linear editing and how and when to use each one. We will also review and critique professional reels along with reels created by the class. By the end of the course students will have either created several reels of their own work, or prepared themselves to edit their own reels in the future by creating sample reels from tutorial media. Prerequisites apply: one course from ARTD 252, ARTD 256, CINE 270, J 207, J 208.  

CINE 420 Advanced Screenwriting (4 credits)
Tuesday 2:00-4:50 p.m. 
Instructor:  Masami Kawai

This course is designed to take students through the process of developing a feature film screenplay. The class will combine analytical and practical approaches. We will read critically acclaimed feature scripts to analyze the various techniques used by screenwriters to engage an audience. Building on these insights, students will write a detailed outline of a feature script and the first act of the screenplay. By the end of the course, students will learn how to evaluate story ideas, develop compelling characters, create engaging plots, and hone the skills to give and receive feedback. This class is aimed at students who have completed Beginning Screenwriting and who have written a successful short film script. Prerequisites apply: CINE 320 with grade of B– or better.
