This is a course about stories. It will require constant brainstorming and developing new ideas for visual media – film, television and social media. This class will include personal and genre stories, prompts from the news and other sources. The goal is to better understand ourselves as storymakers and to deepen and broaden our narrative skills, including finding the stories, developing, writing, pitching them, collaborating on ideas with classmates, and learning story analysis – how to give feedback and, more importantly, how to receive it.
The main goal is to have a rich portfolio of ideas for further development which is essential for storytellers in today’s world. The far-reaching goal is for students to become confident creators of original narratives that utilize the language, form, and style of visual storytelling. By the end of the class, students will pitch their top story concepts.
