What I'd Like to Learn About

The following is a course desription for a class I want to take in the fall. I'm pretty excited. Maybe I'll drop out of grad school and become a television writer like my hero Jane, who writes for "Buffy".

Literature CS 2, Section 3 ** EC # 24935 ** INTRODUCTION TO TELEVISION WRITING: THE HOUR-LONG DRAMA

This is a four-session intensive seminar on the "how-to's" of writing for the hour-long television drama format. Writing experience is not necessary. This beginner's seminar focuses on the show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and will include script analysis, story structure, the art of the pitch. You will not write a script in this class, but there will be writing exercises. Students are required to have watched three episodes of BUFFY prior to class attendance.
