Taster Lectures: history, English and creative writing
Storytelling
This taster lecture, looks at how we tell stories, examining the structure of movies from The Shawshank Redemption to E.T., Avengers Assemble, Moana and Black Panther, to name a few. Gain insight from a working professional screenwriter into the world of storytelling. What is a 'five act structure'? Why is it used in everything from 'The X-factor to Finding Nemo'? What is a 'journey of change'? And what might your own story be, as you choose your destination for your undergraduate degree?'
