Summary "This guide distills the craft of screenwriting into twelve key elements, from developing your story to revising and rewriting, plus plenty of inspiration to create your own screenplay with confidence. Discover what to expect within the film industry and how it has evolved. Look behind the scenes at iconic films using a classic structure of screenwriting, along with experimental films from innovative writers that have transcended the rules and paved their own way to the silver screen. Then, get to the exciting part--writing--using a dozen tried-and-true rules of the trade. Each chapter is accompanied with an 'In the Writer's Room' creative exercise--such as formatting your script, mapping sequences, and creating rich dialogue and characters--to deepen your understanding of what brings a screenplay to life."--Page [4] of cover.
