It’s easy for us to have favorite shows and hated shows, and analyzing what makes them so great (or awful) is a skill essential to creating our own stories. In this class, we will look into theory and practice to create screenplays and understand the key factors to ensuring success when animated. Students will analyze various works of animation, written text, and live-action film to understand the key differences in approach to animation. Class will consist of discussions of these works, and students will be expected to read and watch ahead of time to maximize their experience. Students will also be given creative writing assignments which will be peer reviewed in class and a final project which will consist of producing a thirty-second animated short.
