Synopsis
Here is a most informative, helpful and readable book about the art of writing for the screen. In addition to analyzing screenwriting in terms of broad and traditional categories such as plot, language, character and dialogue, "screenwright" and director Wolf Rilla formulates a new "poetics" for this comparatively new medium, which allows him to deal with narrower and rarely articulated matters such as camera angles, electronic editing, locations, the treatment and the punctuation of film language. He also examines the requirements for writing documentaries and the special demands made upon the writer by television. This comprehensive book is essential for aspiring practitioners of the craft, but Rilla's thoughtful and intelligent consideration of works such as Citizen Kane, On the Waterfront and Bullitt , among others, will appeal to anyone who simply has an interest in films. Wolf Rilla has directed and/or written some twenty movies, Village of the Damned among them, and has taught at the London Film School. His previous books include The A-Z of Movie Making .
