Description
You’ve got an idea for the next great screenplay. Maybe you’re just getting started, or perhaps you’ve spent time with other screenwriting books, and you have your hero’s journey, plot twists, reversals, and cat-saving scenes all worked out. Either way, what stands between you and an outstanding finished screenplay are the blank pages that you must fill with cinematic life, energy, conflict, and emotion. So how on Earth do you do that?
The secret is scenewriting.
This thorough and effective guide will help the beginner and the professional master the most critical and overlooked part of the screenwriting process: the art and craft of writing scenes. With step-by-step instruction, and numerous exercises, you will learn how to transform an outline into a fully-developed script.
Learn how to prepare scenes for writing, construct sparkling, naturalistic dialogue, utilise scene description and the unique structure of the screenplay format to maximum advantage, and polish your scenes so that your idea becomes the script you always imagined it could be.
Through scenewriting, great ideas become brilliant scripts.
