Description
Great
properties are defined by, "Location, location, location."
Great screenplays are defined by, "Structure, structure,
structure." Linda Cowgill's new book, Secrets of Screenplay
Structure, articulates the concepts of successful screenplay
structure in a clear language, based on the study of great films
from the 1930s to present day. Secrets of Screenplay Structure helps
writers understand how and why great films work as well as how great
form and function can combine to bring a story alive. Secrets of
Screenplay Structure can be used in an interactive format if readers
follow Cowgill's suggestions to view the recommended films on video
before beginning each chapter. Ms. Cowgill includes many helpful
anecdotes, insider strategies, as well as "dos" and
"don'ts" which will help readers make their writing more
professional and, therefore, more marketable.
