Since we first arrived on the planet, we've been telling each other
stories, whether of that morning's great saber-tooth tiger hunt or
the latest installment of the Star Wars saga. And throughout our
history, despite differences of geography or culture, we've been
telling those stories in essentially the same way. Why? Because
there is a RIGHT way to tell a story, one built into our very DNA.
In his seminal work Poetics, Aristotle identified the patterns and
recurring elements that existed in the successful dramas of his
time as he explored precisely why we tell stories, what makes a
good one, and how to best tell them. In Classical Storytelling and
Contemporary Screenwriting, Brian Price examines Aristotle's
conclusions in an entertaining and accessible way and then applies
those guiding principles to the most modern of storytelling
mediums, going from idea to story to structure to outline to final
pages and beyond, covering every relevant screenwriting topic along
the way. The result is a fresh new approach to the craft of
screenwriting-one that's only been around a scant 2,500 years or
so-ideal for students and aspiring screenwriters who want a
comprehensive step-by-step guide to writing a successful screenplay
the way the pros do it.
