Adaptations have long been a mainstay of Hollywood and the
television networks. Indeed, most Academy Award- and Emmy
Award-winning films have been adaptations of novels, plays, or
true-life stories. Linda Seger, author of two acclaimed books on
scriptwriting, now offers a comprehensive handbook for
screenwriters, producers, and directors who want to successfully
transform fictional or factual material into film. Seger tells how
to analyze source material to understand why some of it resists
adaptation. She then gives practical methods for translating story,
characters, themes, and style into film. A final section details
essential information on how to adapt material and how to protect
oneself legally
The Collaborative Art of Filmmaking: From Script to Screen explores what goes into the making of Hollywood's greatest motion pictures. Join veteran script consultant Linda Seger as she examines contemporary and classic screenplays on their perilous journey from script to screen. This fully revised and updated edition includes interviews with over 80 well-known artists in their fields including writers, producers, directors, actors, editors, composers, and production designers. Their discussions about the art and craft of filmmaking - including how and why they make their decisions - provides filmmaking and screenwriting students and professionals with the ultimate guide to creating the best possible "blueprint" for a film and to also fully understand the artistic and technical decisions being made by all those involved in the process.

Making a good script great is more than just a matter of putting a good idea on paper. It requires the working and reworking of that idea. This book takes you through the whole screenwriting process-from initial concept through final rewrite-providing specific methods that will help you craft tighter, stronger, and more saleable scripts. While retaining the invaluable insights that placed its first two editions among the all-time most popular screenwriting books, this expanded, revised, and updated third edition adds rich and important new material on dialogue, cinematic images, and point of view, as well as an interview with screenwriter Paul Haggis. If you are writing your first script, this book will help develop your skills for telling a compelling and dramatic story. If you are a veteran screenwriter, it will help you articulate the skills you know intuitively. And if you are currently stuck on a rewrite, this book will help you analyse and solve your script's problems and get it back on track.
