DIALOGUE is the follow-up title to Robert McKee's hugely successful
STORY. Divided into four sections (The Art of Dialogue, Flaws &
Fixes, Creating Dialogue & Dialogue Design) Dialogue teaches
how to craft effective speeches for characters. McKee uses scenes
from classic films and television programmes such as Sideways,
Casablanca, The Sopranos, Breaking Bad and Frasier to demonstrate
how dialogue is constructed and develops and covers the range of
dialogue used on page, stage and screen. Readers and students are
shown how to ensure dialogue holds the reader's or audience's
attention, how to 'time' dialogue and how to retain motivation and
to provide productive information within dialogue. The skills
outlined allow writers in all spheres to create effective and
functional speech. McKee dispels a few myths and shows writers how
to eradicate bad habits, use emotion correctly and to avoid 'empty'
dialogue which leads a character and a story into the equivalent of
a writing 'cul-de-sac'. An insightful work from an author whose
guidance can enhance a writer's style and achievements. (This is
the UK edition.)
