"How to Write a Great Script with Final Draft 9" is not a typical computer book tutorial. Flip open any computer book and you'll typically see a thick tome crammed with information about every possible feature of a program in exhaustive detail. Such comprehensive detail makes most computer books about as exciting to read as a dictionary. Nobody really wants to learn how to use any particular program. What people really want to learn is how to get specific results from using a particular program. Chances are good that your goal in life isn't to learn how to use Final Draft 9. Instead, you probably really want to learn how to write the best screenplay possible with the least amount of hassle. To achieve that goal, you want to use Final Draft 9 as a tool to achieve your dream of writing a screenplay that you can sell. That's why this book won't teach you how to become a Final Draft 9 expert. What this book will teach you is how to plan, organize, and write a screenplay using Final Draft 9 as a tool to make your task easier. Notice the huge difference? You want to be a screenwriter, not a Final Draft 9 computer expert. This book won't overwhelm you by teaching every possible feature in Final Draft 9. Instead, this book will teach you the more useful features of Final Draft 9 to make you a more effective screenwriter. Once you learn the most common commands of Final Draft 9, you'll have the confidence to learn the more advanced features that the program offers. Not only will you learn how to use Final Draft's most common features, but you'll also learn why to use them and how they can help you organize and write a more effective screenplay. To use Final Draft most effectively, you need to know how to develop a story. Having a great screenwriting program like Final Draft 9 is fine, but if you don't know what to write, then you won't be able to take advantage of Final Draft 9's writing, formatting, and editing features. Although Final Draft works as an excellent screenplay formatting word processor, that's actually the last feature you want to use. Where most people go wrong is that they focus first on writing their screenplay without knowing what to write or taking time to organize their ideas before they write. Think of screenwriting like planning a vacation. You could just show up at the airport and hop on any plane, but chances are good it won't take you where you want to go. Likewise if you start writing a script without any planning, you'll likely waste time writing an rambling and incoherent screenplay. At this point, formatting your screenplay perfectly means nothing if it's not structured to tell a compelling story in the first place. So this book will teach you how to write screenplays using Final Draft 9 as a tool. If you want to learn how to become a better screenwriter and use Final Draft 9 to help you achieve your ultimate goal of selling a screenplay, then this is the book for you.

R552 Discovery Miles 5 520 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

The jungle is wild and tropical - and a deadly hush of anticipation hangs in the humid air. A man eludes pursuit in the murky water of a swamp pool. His scant clothing ripped and torn, he is obviously exhausted - and terrorized. His face is wild with panic, and he is near collapse. Cowering in fear, he is unaware of the threat of a deadly python, approaching silently from behind. Closer and closer...

Stendhal (Paperback): Hoyt Hilsman Stendhal (Paperback)
Hoyt Hilsman
R244 Discovery Miles 2 440 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

On the night of October 25th, 1929, the French writer Stendhal set about to write his classic novel Le Rouge et Le Noir, which had been inspired by the trial of a young seminarian, Antoine Berthet, who was charged with killing his mistress, a married woman from a provincial town. In Hilsman's dramatic comedy, we learn the story of the seminarian, a poor farm boy with a secret enthusiasm for Napoleon. Berthet is sent to tutor the child of a provincial mayor and, before long, begins an affair with the mayor's wife. When her husband discovers her affair, she ends their relationship and confesses her sin to the local priest. Enraged, Antoine follows her to a village church where he shoots her. She survives, but Antoine is put on trial. Frustrated by his failing literary career, Stendhal confides in his dearest friend, Mme. Jules Gaulthier, vowing to leave Paris to attend the trial of the young seminarian, she is aghast. Stendhal arrives at the prison and tries to persuade him to recant and save, but he refuses and is sent to the guillotine. Stendhal vows to tell his story, in what will become the classic novel, Le Rouge et Le Noir. Stendhal's life becomes entwined with the fate of the young seminarian.

24 (Paperback): John McCullough 24 (Paperback)

R612 Discovery Miles 6 120 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

For eight seasons between 2001 and 2010, Fox's 24 garnered critical accolades and became one of the most watched and discussed shows in primetime. In an innovative premise, the show's hour-long episodes were meant to represent a real-time hour of the story, so that each twenty-four-episode season depicts a single day in the life of its characters. Influential as a popular hit, 24 was also closely linked with the "culture of fear" that dominated the post-9/11 period. In this insightful study, author John McCullough demonstrates that the series was not only unique and trendsetting, but also a complex creative response to its historical context. In three chapters, McCullough looks at 24's form, style and overarching themes and meanings. He argues that although the series is driven by the political and cultural shifts brought on by the War on Terror, it is routinely out of step with real history. Using Linda Williams's distinction between the melodramatic mode and melodrama as a genre, McCullough explores 24's use of the action-adventure and spy thriller forms with particular attention paid to the series' hero, Jack Bauer, who is depicted as a tragic hero perpetually in search of a return to innocence. Ultimately, McCullough finds that the series' distinction lies less in its faithful re-creation of the history of the WOT than in its evocation of the sense of crises and paranoia that defined the period. McCullough also analyses 24 as a response to television culture in the "post-network" age, characterised by reality TV's populist appeal and visceral content, on the one hand, and sophisticated boutique cable programming ("quality TV"), on the other. McCullough demonstrates that 24 engaged not only with the most pressing issues of world history and the geopolitics of its time, including terrrorism, neoliberalism and the state of exception, but, on the strength of its form and style, also represents significant global trends in television culture. Fans of the show and media history scholars will appreciate this thorough study.

"House on Haunted: A William Castle Annotated Screamplay" is the never-before-seen working script from William Castle's archives and is a Living Screenplay(TM). "House on Haunted Hill" (written by Robb White) is a renowned work of producer and director William Castle, beloved for his signature-style fright-filled films and delivering "the gimmick" to the horror genre.

"House on Haunted Hill: A William Castle Annotated Screamplay" features original script formatting, maintaining the integrity of the authentic screenplay replete with Castle's hand-written notes and actual leather-bound style of design that he used for every movie he made.

And a historical perspective of the film by writer and illustrator Charlie Largent.

"The writing is witty and daring - this is the movie every zombie geek aspires to make..." - EyeCraveDVD.com

Wandering the zombie wasteland, Matool lives by his animal instinct - not to mention his hammer and giant nails. But when he's kidnapped by a mysterious couple, he must rely on an entirely different weapon to survive...

Read the original shooting script for THE STINK OF FLESH and see how a low-budget film translates from page to screen in the cult movie Lawrence Raffel of MonstersAtPlay.com called "A fantastic entry in the zombie sub-genre. Great characters, talented filmmaking, an inventive storyline... Definitely recommended and in my humble opinion, a far better film than 28 Days Later."

Written by Scott S. Phillips, screenwriter of the Martial Arts classic DRIVE (1997) and several episodes of the CW Network TV series KAMEN RIDER DRAGON KNIGHT, and author of the novels PETE, DRINKER OF BLOOD, FRIDAY THE 13th: CHURCH OF THE DIVINE PSYCHOPATH, and SQUIRREL EYES.

Also includes an appreciation of the movie by Cody Hamman of LifeBetweenFrames.com.
