Writing Short Scripts by William H Phillips
This practical guidebook will help beginning scriptwriters and aspiring filmmakers and videomakers to write short, fictional scripts that have a good chance of being made locally and inexpensively into short films or videos. Structured in much the same way as a course in writing short scripts, this book is also for students required to write short scripts or make short films or videos. Phillips addresses critical writing structure for short scripts, differentiates it from techniques used in feature-length film scripts, and focuses on visualization, use of dialogue, settings, characters, structure, and themes. He then guides the reader through the entire writing process, from gathering and organizing materials to writing, re-writing and formatting scripts.
William Phillips was born and raised in New Castle, Pennsylvania. He attended the University of Pittsburgh, graduating with a Bachelor's Degree in English. He spent several years traveling before finally moving to London, where he went on to obtain a Master's Degree in screenwriting from the University of London. He currently lives in New York.
