Story Through Dialogue (4 or 3 Cr.)
Prerequisite: ENG 115
Description: Dialogue is a critical element of modern storytelling. This course explores the effective uses of dialogue in fiction, drama, and film. Students will discover how dialogue serves to move the action forward, build history, and develop character. They will continue to hone their storytelling skills through a series of written and oral dialogue exercises. Additionally, students will learn traditional dialogue and scripting formats and when to use these formats. They will also consider the aural nature of dialogue by examining topics such as onomatopoeia, alliteration, and meter. The course culminates in pre-production script proposals for use in PRJ 300, PRJ 350, or ANI 300.
