Unlike most screenwriting guides that generally analyze several
aspects of screenwriting, Constructing Dialogue is devoted to a
more analytical treatment of certain individual scenes and how
those scenes were constructed to be the most highly dramatic vis a
vis their dialogue. In the art of screenwriting, one cannot
separate how the scene is constructed from how the dialogue is
written. They are completely interwoven. Each chapter deals with
how a particular screenwriter approached dialogue relative to that
particular scene's construction. From Citizen Kane to The Fisher
King the storylines have changed, but the techniques used to
construct scene and dialogue have fundamentally remained the same.
The author maintains that there are four optimum requirements that
each scene needs in order to be successful: maintaining scenic
integrity; advancing the storyline, developing character, and
eliciting conflict and engaging emotionally. Comparing the original
script and viewing the final movie, the student is able to see what
exactly was being accomplished to make both the scene and the
dialogue work effectively.
