SCWR 425: Genre Storytelling

This advanced course examines the dramatic conventions of genre storytelling in film and television. Through extensive script readings and discussions, students will deconstruct the common features of genre in an effort to discern audience expectations and develop a methodology for narrative innovation in their own work. In addition to evaluating films and series of varying genres, students will examine work by, for, and about a diverse range of intersectional characters and creators reflective of our communities.
