The Art and Science of Screenwriting by Philip Parker
As screenwriters come to be seen as the storytellers of the age this book presents the fundamentals of writing a really compelling screenplay. Parker's new approach to writing for film and TV covers everything from finding an idea to writing a finished piece, containing advice on how to apply creative vision and the needs of the market. Parker breaks from the dominant concerns of act structure and character-driven narratives with a six-part framework comprising story, plot, dramatic structures, narrative and style.
"'First class and triple-A, I recommend this book without reservation' - Lew Hunter 'In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.' - Alfred Hitchcock"
