Download or read book Vale s Technique of Screen and Television Writing written by Eugene Vale and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vale's Technique of Screen and Television Writing is an updated and expanded edition of a valuable guide to writing for film and television. Mr. Vale takes the aspiring writer through every phase of a film's development, from the original concept to the final shooting script. Teachers of the craft as well as writers and directors have acclaimed it as one of the best books ever written on how to write a screenplay. This book combines practical advice for the aspiring or established writer with a lucid overview of the unique features of this most contemporary art form, distinguishing film and video from other media and other kinds of storytelling. It teaches the reader to think in terms of the camera and gives practical advice on the realities of filmmaking. At the same time, Vale, who began his own career as a scriptwriter for the great French director Jean Renoir, provides a solid grounding in the history of drama from the Classical Greek theater through the great cinematic works of the twentieth century. Both philosophical and pragmatic, this is a very readable book for students and active professionals who want to improve their writing skills, and for film enthusiasts interested in knowing more about what they see on the screen. Mr. Vale is that rare combination, a practitioner of great experience who can offer a lucid explanation of his craft. Eugene Vale was born in Switzerland and began his career in France in the 1930s. He was an award-winning novelist, film and TV scriptwriter and teacher, whose works include the bestselling novel The Thirteenth Apostle and the scripts for Francis of Assisi, The Bridge of San Luis Rey, and The Second Face. He also worked in many other areas of the motion picture industry, including directing, producing, cutting, distribution and finance. His archives are held by Boston University and University of Southern California. Mr. Vale died in 1997, shortly after he completed the updated version of this handbook.

Download or read book Screenwriting Tribe Workshop Handbook for Writing and Polishing Film and TV Spec Scripts written by Daniel John Carey and published by . This book was released on 2020-02-20 with total page 588 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For both beginners and working screenwriters, Screenwriting Tribe Workshop Handbook provides a vast quantity of information to help writers polish their screenplays to the professional level. While working in the headquarters of a film studio, John saw how easily screenplays are dismissed because of formatting errors, badly written description, rambling dialogue, and other common script problems. One day, the studio president showed John a badly formatted script, and said, "Why should I spend time reading a script if the writer hasn't spent the time to polish it?" To help writers polish their scripts to be what is expected by managers, agents, studio readers, producers, directors, screenplay contests, writing labs, and mentorship and fellowship programs, John started the weekly workshop that he named Screenwriting Tribe. The membership quickly grew to include several hundred writers. Over the years, John compiled information helpful for those writing screenplays. At first, he was writing a booklet for his workshop, but it turned into the nearly 300-page first edition of Screenwriting Tribe Workshop Handbook with cover dimensions of 6x7. The first edition was picked up as a text by college and university film schools. This second edition is 582 pages with cover dimensions of 7x10. In addition to the Screenwriting Tribe workshop, John helps directors and producers polish scripts to get them ready for sale and/or production.
