ENGL 040 PZ -Special Topics in Creative Writing: From Fiction Into Film

Institution: Pitzer

Description: The topic of this course will change each year, based upon the expertise of our Visiting Writer. For Fall 2012, the topic will be From Fiction Into film. This course explores the complex interplay between film and literature. Selected novels, short stories and plays are analyzed in relation to film versions of the same works in order to gain an understanding of the possibilities–and problems–involved in the transportation to film. We will direct our critical focus on the mechanisms through which writers and filmmakers convey meaning to their audiences.

Prerequisite(s): Please check course schedule for requirements.
