Screenwriting

Screenwriters must understand human behavior to make their stories come alive. This book clearly describes theories of personality and psychoanalysis with simple guidelines, thought provoking exercises, vivid film images and hundreds of examples from classic movies.

A real gem
on the craft of screenwriting, this third edition of Syd Field's
preeminent book on screenwriting provides easily understood guidelines
for writing a screenplay, from concept to finished product. Field makes
the art of film writing accessible to novices and helps practiced
writers improve their scripts, as he pinpoints stylistic and structural
elements such as characterization and plot (and why the first ten pages
are crucial).

This masterful book provides tips and techniques on screenplay
format; collaborations; adaptations; what to do after your screenplay
is written and more. The highly-regarded scripts of Chinatown and Silver Streak are used to illustrate concepts.

"Syd Field is the preeminent analyzer in the study of American
screenplays." -- James L. Brooks, Academy Award-winning writer,
director, producer.
