Présentation de l'éditeur

All good screenplays share central principles and essential elements of cinematic storytelling and The Tools of Screenwriting has been the definitive text for screenwriters since the 1970 s. David Howard has revised and updated Edward Mabley s classic guide to dramatic theory to apply its principles to screenplays. The Tools of Screenwriting utilises the universal principles of drama, and illuminates how they are specifically used in screenwriting by writers from Aristotle to Orson Welles. Addressing questions of dramatic structure, plot, dialogue, characterisation, setting, imagery and other topics as they apply to filmmaking this is a practical, comprehensive guide based on experience and what has worked in classic screenplays from Citizen Kane and Rashomon to Chinatown and sex, lies and videotape.

Revue de presse

Considered a definitive American text on the subject, Howard and co-writer Edward Mabley (offer) aspiring writers and film fans advice on creating successful drama for the screen. --The Big Issue in the North

Advice to spare within the... pages of this excellent, well-established guide... Once the basics and the tools are discussed, the second half of the book then turns to useful analyses of some 16 famous films including foreign language classics like The 400 Blows and Rashomon. --BAFTA Online

A clear run down of the tools you ll need to generate a good screenplay... A worker s guide... if I ever start teaching on a screenwriting course, I would definitely use this as my core text. --Screenwriting on the Blog
