Once you understand the basics of screenwriting, ideas for your
next screenplay are everywhere. Whether it comes from a favorite
children's book, a summer novel you discover accidentally, a news
story that catches your imagination, or a chapter from your own
life - advanced screenwriting strategies should now guide you
through your first adaptation. In Screen Adaptation: Beyond the
Basics, award-winning screenwriter Eric Williams uses examples from
award-winning screenplays to explain new storytelling techniques.
His real-world examples illustrate a range of advanced approaches -
including new ways to identify and craft tension, how to reimagine
structure and character, and how to strengthen emotional depth in
your characters and in the audience. Screen Adaptation: Beyond the
Basics teaches readers new ways to engage with source material in
order to make successful adaptation decisions, regardless of the
source material. The book offers: Three detailed examples of
award-winning adaptations by the author, including the complete
short story and final scripts used in the Voices From the Heartland
project; Breakout boxes highlighting modern and historical
adaptations and providing examples for each concept discussed in
the book; More than fifty charts providing easy-to-use visual
representations of complex concepts; New screenwriting techniques
developed by the author, including the Triangle of Knowledge, the
Storyteller's Parallax, and the idea of Super Genres as part of a
Screenwriters Taxonomy.
