I learned a great deal from the Weston readings about directing as well as acting, so in that regard, this class has helped equip me to be a better and more effective director.  That reading specifically has educated me on how to communicate my vision more clearly.  I have also learned about the different styles of writing for the screen and can appreciate that form of writing more. Also, through learning McKee's method of script analysis, I have learned to better detect and appreciate "beats" and "events" in films.  The class has also helped to strengthen my opinions about movies, and the idea to not just think movies are good because other people say they are.  In taking a script analysis class, I am more knowledgeable, and therefore feel more qualified to evaluate movies.  Overall, though I did not always enjoy the amount of required reading for this course, I cannot deny that I learned a great deal.
