Global Scriptwriting offers a look at an exciting new phase in
screen storytelling, as writers and directors from all over the
world infuse traditional forms with their own cultural values to
create stories that have an international appeal and suggest a
universality among readers, viewers, and listeners. A unique blend
of screenwriting technique and film studies, Global Scriptwriting
discusses screen stories as they have evolved through the years,
focusing first on the basics of scriptwriting, then going on to
afford a more sophisticated look at script via different models of
scriptwriting: the Hollywood model, the independent model, the
national model, and various alternative models. It examines the
internationalization of storytelling, and illustrates how
particular innovations have helped national screen stories to
international success.
This book is the first to incorporate the basics of the
classical form with the innovative edge of the last decade, as well
the culture specific changes that have taken place outside of North
America. It offers readers a view of the enriched repertoire
available to writers resulting from the introduction of cultural
perspectives into traditional story forms. Specific topics examined
include, the ascent of voice, the search for new forms, the
struggle between style and content, and the centrality of
megagenre.
Includes numerous case studies and examples
Focuses on how adaptation, innovation, and cultural values combine
to create internationally successful stories
