How to Write a Great Script with Final Draft 9 (Paperback): Wallace Wang How to Write a Great Script with Final Draft 9 (Paperback)

"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.

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
R273 Discovery Miles 2 730 Out of stock

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. Frustrated by his failing literary career, Stendhal confides in his dearest friend, Mme. Jules Gaulthier, vowing to leave Paris to attend the trial of a young seminarian accused of shooting his married lover in a church, she is aghast.

"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.

Shapeless - A dark satirical look at eating disorders and body image. (Paperback): Sean Thomas Carthew Shapeless - A dark satirical look at eating disorders and body image. (Paperback)
Sean Thomas Carthew
R184 Discovery Miles 1 840 Out of stock

SHAPELESS is a One Act Play. A dark, satirical play within a play. It takes on eating disorders and body image in a "not so" typical manner. Four friends attempt to put on a play about eating disorders but cannot get past their own inhibitions to do so. It is not what you would expect. We have the game show NAME THOSE FLAWS. There is a scene with Adam and Eve and Dancing with food to name a few. It's a fast scenic play that is both gross, disgusting and enlightening. SHAPELESS played in Toronto at the Tarragon Theatre and had a very successful run. National Eating Disorder Awareness Week Picked it up and had it as their finale and it played at The Robert Gill Theatre in Toronto. My Name is Sean Carthew and I have a degree in acting from the University of Windsor. I have had a book, this play and a feature film produced. I feel that Shapeless makes a great read as it is not what you would expect when dealing with this issue. It will read differently for all as it is very visual and people will visualize it in many different ways. I think it should be on the stage again. Someone should pick it up and run with it as I feel it is very important and would make a great play for young people to do and/or what be a fantastic touring production as there is little or no production costs. I hope you enjoy it.

Channeling Wonder - Fairy Tales on Television (Paperback): Pauline Greenhill, Jill Terry Rudy Channeling Wonder - Fairy Tales on Television (Paperback)
Pauline Greenhill, Jill Terry Rudy
R838 Discovery Miles 8 380 Out of stock

Television has long been a familiar vehicle for fairy tales and is, in some ways, an ideal medium for the genre. Both more mundane and more wondrous than cinema, TV magically captures sounds and images that float through the air to bring them into homes, schools, and workplaces. Even apparently realistic forms like the nightly news routinely employ discourses of ""once upon a time,"" ""happily ever after,"" and ""a Cinderella story."" In Channeling Wonder: Fairy Tales on Television, Pauline Greenhill and Jill Terry Rudy offer contributions that invite readers to consider what happens when fairy tale, a narrative genre that revels in variation, joins the flow of television experience. Looking in detail at programs from Canada, France, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US, this volume's twenty-three international contributors demonstrate the wide range of fairy tales that make their way into televisual forms. The writers look at fairy-tale adaptations in musicals like Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, anthologies like Jim Henson's The Storyteller, made-for-TV movies like Snow White: A Tale of Terror, Bluebeard, and the Red Riding Trilogy, and drama serials like Grimm and Once Upon a Time. Contributors also explore more unexpected representations in the Carosello commercial series, the children's show Super Why!, the anime series Revolutionary Girl Utena, and the live-action dramas Train Man, and Rich Man Poor Woman. In addition, they consider how elements from familiar tales, including ""Hansel and Gretel,"" ""Little Red Riding Hood,"" ""Beauty and the Beast,"" ""Snow White,"" and ""Cinderella"" appear in the long arc serials Merlin, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Dollhouse, and in a range of television formats including variety shows, situation comedies, and reality TV. Channeling Wonder demonstrates that fairy tales remain ubiquitous on TV, allowing for variations but still resonating with the wonder tale's familiarity. Scholars of cultural studies, fairy-tale studies, folklore, and television studies will enjoy this first-of-its-kind volume. Contributors Include: Jodi McDavid, Ian Brodie, Emma Nelson, Ashley Walton, Don Tresca, Jill Terry Rudy, Patricia Sawin, Christie Barber, Jeana Jorgensen, Brittany Warman, Kirstian Lezubski, Pauline Greenhill, Steven Kohm, Kristiana Willsey, Andrea Wright, Shuli Barzilai, Linda J. Lee, Claudia Schwabe, Rebecca Hay, Christa Baxter, Cristina Bacchilega, John Rieder, Kendra Magnus-Johnston.
