Vale's Technique of Screen and Television Writing is an updated and
expanded edition of a valuable guide to writing for film and
television. Mr. Vale takes the aspiring writer through every phase
of a film's development, from the original concept to the final
shooting script. Teachers of the craft as well as writers and
directors have acclaimed it as one of the best books ever written
on how to write a screenplay. This book combines practical advice
for the aspiring or established writer with a lucid overview of the
unique features of this most contemporary art form, distinguishing
film and video from other media and other kinds of storytelling. It
teaches the reader to think in terms of the camera and gives
practical advice on the realities of filmmaking. At the same time,
Vale, who began his own career as a scriptwriter for the great
French director Jean Renoir, provides a solid grounding in the
history of drama from the Classical Greek theater through the great
cinematic works of the twentieth century. Both philosophical and
pragmatic, this is a very readable book for students and active
professionals who want to improve their writing skills, and for
film enthusiasts interested in knowing more about what they see on
the screen. Mr. Vale is that rare combination, a practitioner of
great experience who can offer a lucid explanation of his craft.
Eugene Vale was born in Switzerland and began his career in France
in the 1930s. He was an award-winning novelist, film and TV
scriptwriter and teacher, whose works include the bestselling novel
The Thirteenth Apostle and the scripts for Francis of Assisi, The
Bridge of San Luis Rey, and The Second Face. He also worked in many
other areas of the motion picture industry, including directing,
producing, cutting, distribution and finance. His archives are held
by Boston University and University of Southern California. Mr.
Vale died in 1997, shortly after he completed the updated version
of this handbook.
