"Screenwriting With a Conscience: Ethics for Screenwriters" is for
screenwriters who care deeply about what they write; who are aware
that movie images matter and can influence audiences; and who want
to create meaningful screenplays that make powerful statements
while entertaining and winning over audiences. A user-friendly
guide to ethical screenwriting, this book makes the case that
social responsibility is endemic to public art while it
emphatically champions First Amendment rights and condemns
censorship.
In this dynamic and practical volume, author Marilyn Beker provides
methods for self-assessment of values, ideas, and ethical stances,
and demonstrates the application of these values to the development
of plot, character, and dialogue. Screenwriters are introduced to
ethical decision making models and shown--through specific film
examples--how they can be utilized in plot and character
development. In addition, specific techniques and exercises are
supplied to help screenwriters determine the difference between
"good" and "evil," to write realistic and compelling characters
based on this determination, and to present "messages" and write
dialogue powerfully without preaching. This book also puts forth a
livable work philosophy for dealing with the ethics of the
screenwriting business, and presents a viable personal philosophy
for surviving in the screenwriting world.
"Screenwriting With a Conscience: Ethics for Screenwriters" is an
indispensible, dynamic guide for the ethics-conscious screenwriter.
It is intended for screenwriters at the student and professional
level, and is appropriate for beginning to graduate screenwriting
courses in film and English programs, andfor film courses dealing
with Ethics in the Media.
