Screenplay

It's indeed a great book a lost of information is there screenplay writer must read it.

This book covers almost everything you could ask for, and for me the biggest plus point was that it wasn't as rigid as Save The Cat. The three act structure is defined very clearly, other concepts relating to character development are also really well written. The writing here is logical and up-to-date, and breaks the concepts down to really tiny bits for everyone and anyone to consume ;)Overall, this is a great book for a beginner who is thinking of getting into screenwriting.

This book is comprehensive and builds your skills in screenplay. One can opt to buy this book. Classic book to learn screenplay elements and everything about screenplay before you proceed to write a screenplay. Definitely value for money. I got the paperback one. It is nice.

Very good book to read and learn.

The cover of this book should be improve because it is very decent quality

Thank you for selling this book.

Good for people who want to learn about screenwriting. A beginner friendly book with examples from Hollywood movies.

There are lots of screenwriting books out there but this is the book from where you can start your screenwriting journey. I read it probably ten years back but again I have bought it and recently read again. If you are a novice writer you should start from this book and even If you are seasoned one you can back to this one again and again.

A forma de escrita, alida a experiência e praticidade dos pontos comentados deixa claro que seguindo os passos e estudando é possível sim escreve um bom roteiro e iniciar nessa descoberta incrível que a criatividade é. Técnica aliada a criação deixam esse livro repleto de ensinamentos. Excelente livro.

Excellent analysis and evolution of writing to theatre playwriting to screenwriting and and formula guide for screenwriting. Invaluable resource for screenwriters

I just finished reading Screenplay and it was eye opening. Most of the book is about crafting stories. Creative techniques recommended for screenwriters. But I find most of those techniques can be applied to crafting novels.A few months ago, I finished a first draft of a novel that was much too short. The second act was sparse, and I hadn't adequately shown why a very unlikely pair fell in love. I clearly didn't fully understand the story I was trying to tell. What I learned from Screenplay in one reading has already given me a growth spurt as a writer. I have a vision and thematic understanding I didn't have before, thanks to this book.Field is a teacher of screenwriting, and his teaching chops show in this book. It is an easy and comfortable read. The writing style is conversational and encouraging and the book is well organized to introduce you to creating stories for the screen in a logical progression, promoting well-accepted methods.So, not only is Screenplay a valuable book for screenwriters, it is a worthwhile read for other storytellers, including novelists.

Me gusta mucho el libro. Es que parece que estás con el escritor y él te cuenta sobre su trabajo. Me lo absorbo como una esponja. Me gusta esas cosas. El libro me recomendó el director de cine, Steven de Jong.

Yeah, it's a must-have for anyone contemplating screenwriting (or any other kind of writing).On the first read-through, I filled a notebook with ideas generated by the nuggets of information and suggestions, and it's all stuff we've seen but never realised. And... it's all stuff you need to know to make your writing work.To call it clever is to understate it.Brilliant.
