Summer Courses

Meta-Majors are collections of academic majors that have related courses. Meta-Majors cluster groups of majors that fit within a career area. Through this course you will select an area of study and explore different careers and majors related to that focus.

Stories shape the human experience. We are constantly telling and receiving stories. We will examine this important art form in the realm of film & television. What makes a good story? How do you tell a story for film or TV? Besides writing a story of their own creation, students will study two American classics: Casablanca and Star Wars from a storytelling perspective. Students will then work on their own "Storyboard" and use software called "Storyboard this" to create and voice their original short stories. This process will introduce students to principles, concepts and elements of storytelling and the writing process for film and TV. They will learn how to pitch stories to a group and how to write using screenplay format and traditional narrative format, as well as how to work cohesively in a small group creative setting.
