About this title

Synopsis

In the tradition of Strunk and White's The Elements of Style, this essential reference offers welcome help for the thousands of screenwriters who have discovered that putting together a successful screenplay is much harder than it seems.

From the Back Cover

An indispensable guide written in a clear, no-nonsense style, 'The Elements of Screenwriting' is a handy, reliable reference to the basics of writing for the screen. From devising the perfect pitch to presenting a finished work, this book coaches writers in the arts of character, plot, and dialogue development; the structure and look of a typical script; the considerations that must be addressed during production; and the complex and unnerving business of filmmaking itself.
