SCWR 550: Writing for TV Thesis Development

Students will select and then develop a television thesis project in preparation for writing the first draft of their thesis pilot. The development process will include assignments designed to aid students in choosing their thesis project, fostering a strong personal connection to that project, and creating compelling three-dimensional characters in a world or situation that will provide sustainable long-term conflict. The course will culminate with a completed show bible, an outline for the pilot, and a pitch session with each student's thesis committee.

SCWR 400 and (SCWR 401 or SCWR 402) are prerequisites for this class.
