"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...

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.

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.

This is the story of a group; that wants to get a record deal; with so many other band competing; for the record deal; it seems that the purple masters have a lot of work to do.

In January 2004, Showtime debuted The L Word, the first prime-time commercial drama to centre around lesbian characters. Over the course of six seasons, the show depicted the lives and loves of an evolving circle of friends in West Hollywood, California, and was widely read as evidence of changing social attitudes toward gay people. Building on immediate critical attention, the show reigned as Showtime's most popular for its first three seasons and earned a large and enthusiastic audience. In The L Word, author Margaret T. McFadden argues that the show is important for its subject matter, its extended and deeply literate commentary on the history of representation of lesbians in popular media, and the formal innovations it deployed to rewrite that history. McFadden shows that the programme's creators, led by executive producer Ilene Chaiken, were well aware of the assumptions and expectations that viewers would bring to it after a history of stereotypical depictions of lesbians on television. They sought to satisfy a diverse group of viewers who wanted honest and appealing portrayals of their lives while still attracting a large enough mainstream audience to make The L Word commercially viable. In five chapters, McFadden explores how the show tackled these problems of representation by using reflexivity as a strategy to make meaning, undertaking a complicitous critique of Hollywood, skillfully using a soap-drama format to draw in its audience and ultimately creating its own complex representation of a lesbian community. While deconstructing the history of misrepresentation of lesbians, The L Word's new modes of storytelling and new perspectives made many aspects of lesbian experience, history and culture visible to a large audience. Fans of the show as well as readers interested in cultural studies and gay and lesbian pop cultural history will enjoy this astute volume.

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.
