SYNOPSIS
Two professional screenwriters and graduates of UCLA School of Television and Screen present a guide to screenplay writing that is intended to be used as either a reference or a course textbook. After covering some of the fundamentals, they explore the structure of script narrative, looking at different approaches and the specifics of genre. A "nuts and bolts" section discusses such topics narrative, dialogue, and rewriting. Marketing advice is provided and final chapters look at the related topics of television and staged plays.
