Writing for Video
This class will focus on writing a tight video sketch--adapting and modifying scripts to work as web videos, getting experience with different sketch video formats, and generally learning to punch up your scripts, whether one-offs or episodic. (Note: this class focuses only on the script-writing phase, not pre- or post-production.) Students will leave class with at least one script ready to produce or include in submission packets.
