GENINT 721.768

Osher (50+). In this course, we view The Conversation (1974) and Godfather II (1974) and study both scripts.

About this course:

In this course, we view The Conversation (1974) and Godfather II (1974), before studying both scripts. We look at themes, story development, character development, foreshadowing, shot choices, rising action, and climax. In short, we discuss everything that goes into writing a screenplay and how each screenplay came into fruition in the films. Vincent Coppola, the instructor, took part in the shootings of both films, and discusses how the actual production went, including the action behind the scenes. If possible, a field trip to Paramount will be scheduled outside of class time.
