How to Bulid a Great Screenplay is a definitive guide on the mechanics of screenwritingfilled with examplesfrom the author of The Tools of Screenwriting.Acclaimed USC screenwriting teacher David Howard has guided hundreds of students to careers in writing for film and television. Drawing on decades of practical experience and savvy, How to Build a Great Screenplay deconstructs the craft of screenwriting and carefully reveals how to build a good story from the ground up. Howard eschews the 'system' offered by other books, emphasizing that a great screenplay requires dozens of unique decisions by the author. He offers indepth considerations of:* characterization* story arc* plotting and subplotting* dealing with coincidence in story plotting* classical vs. revolutionary screenplay structure* tone, style, and atmosphere* the use of time on screen* the creation of drama and tension* crucial moments in storytellingThroughout the book, Howard clarifies his lessons through examples from some of the most successful Hollywood and international scriptoriented films, including Pulp Fiction, American Beauty, Trainspotting, North by Northwest, Chinatown, and others. The end result is what could very well become the classic text in the fielda bible for the burgeoning screenwriter.
