Most producers and directors acknowledge the crucial role of the
screenplay, yet the film script has received little academic
attention until recently, even though the screenplay has been in
existence since the end of the 19th century. Analysing the
Screenplay highlights the screenplay as an important form in
itself, as opposed to merely being the first stage of the
production process. It explores a number of possible approaches to
studying the screenplay, considering the depth and breadth of the
subject area, including: the history and early development of the
screenplay in the United States, France and Britain the process of
screenplay writing and its peculiar relationship to film production
the assumption that the screenplay is standardised in form and
certain stories or styles are universal the range of writing
outside the mainstream, from independent film to story ideas in
Bhutanese film production to animation possible critical approaches
to analysing the screenplay. Analysing the Screenplay is a
comprehensive anthology, offering a global selection of
contributions from internationally renowned, specialist authors.
Together they provide readers with an insight into this fascinating
yet complex written form. This anthology will be of interest to
undergraduate and postgraduate students on a range of Film Studies
courses, particularly those on scriptwriting.
