Description
An illustrated, accessible introduction to filmmaking from a Hollywood screenwriter, producer, script consultant, and film school professor.
Anyone with a cellphone can shoot video, but creating a memorable feature-length film requires knowledge and mastery of a wide range of skills, including screenwriting, storytelling, directing, visual composition, and production logistics. 101 Things I Learned in Film School points the aspiring filmmaker down this complex learning path with such critical lessons as:
- How to structure a story and pitch it to a studio
- Ways to reveal a story's unseen aspects, such as backstory and character psychology
- The difference between plot, story, and theme
- Why some films drag in Act 2, and what to do about it
- How to visually compose a frame to best tell a story
- How to manage finances, schedules, and the practical demands of production
Written by an award-winning producer, screenwriter, film school professor, and script consultant to major movie studios, 101 Things I Learned in Film School is an indispensable resource for students, screenwriters, filmmakers, animators, and anyone else interested in the moviemaking profession.
