In Screenwriting 101, you will learn how to storyboard, format a screenplay, and think like a director. You will gain experience by working with well-known, beloved stories and movies, such as The Tale of Despereaux, Holes, Peter Rabbit, Star Wars, Toy Story, and The Princess Bride.

Fun activities include watching the first motion picture with a story, outlining a silent movie, and playing the role of an old timey film editor, cutting and organizing film strips into a coherent story.

​By the end of the ten-week course, you will be using technical film terms such as voice over, close up (CU), extreme close-up (ECU), camera pan, still shot, jump cut, montage, and treatment as you write your very own screenplay.
