Description
Review:
"To prepare writers for the various stages of planning, writing, and rewriting their scripts, William H. Phillips shows beginning scriptwriters how to keep journals and complete writing exercises as they study short scripts and short films. The book includes three original short screenplays plus detailed descriptions of two award-winning short films." "Phillips also explains and illustrates the importance of structure, visuals, dialogue, and other components of fictional film stories. Many of the author's suggestions and guidelines also apply to feature-length scripts, so the book will appeal to both those in the professional short-film industry and those writing feature-length scripts."--BOOK JACKET.
