Story Development and Outlining
In online lectures, supplemental readings, video
clips, and written assignments and exercises, we’ll consider plot
and character arcs and what makes them work; the scene as the
essential, powerful unit of story; how a writer might use multiple
genres in crafting story, and the degree to which one ought to push
back against, rather than merely accepting, genre expectations; the
difference between story and discourse and the function of each;
and more. We’ll also reference—and occasionally take cues from—such
seemingly disparate films as Jaws, Silence of the Lambs, 8 ½, Annie
Hall, Inglorious Basterds, and Boogie Nights, among others.
