| Abstract

:
|
Unlike other screenwriting books, this unique guide pushes you to challenge yourself and break free of tired, formulaic writing - bending or breaking the rules of storytelling as we know them. Like the best-selling previous editions, seasoned authors Dancyger and Rush explore alternative approaches to the traditional three-act story structure updating this revised edition with new chapters covering newly popular genres (feature documentary, long-form television serials, non-linear stories (movies like Memento), satire, fable, and docudrama), case studies of new movies as well as classics, and a look at perspective as voice. Brand new chapters on multiple-threaded long form, serial television scripts, genre, how genre's very form is flexible to a narrative, character development in films such as Winter's Bone, Hurt Locker, and Fish Tank, and an in-depth case study of the dark side of the fable, focusing on The Wizard of Oz and Pan's Labyrinth, Goes beyond traditional 'how to tell a story' screenwriting books to teach you how to write against conventional formulas to produce original, exciting material, Filled with an international range of contemporary and classic cinema examples to inspire and instruct Book jacket
