A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Nine-tenths of the amateur scenario writers of today have studied books on the subject. Technically, a great many of the scenarios received show careful study. But most of them lack inspiration and originality. The writers have failed to make living, breathing human beings of their characters. In "Scenario Writing Today", the latest and one of the best books on the subject, Grace Lytton says: "If you can't take your characters to your heart and make living creatures of them, they will not strike the note of sympathy when they come to stand before your public."

Miss Lytton's book contains real inspiration for the amateur writers. It is more than a practical guide, and all writers both amateur and professional may profit by a reading of it.

— The Bookman, Volume 53

The book has an introduction by Florence Hull Winterburn, who says of it that it sets forth the principles of scenario writing not from a theoretical but from a practical standpoint, omitting nothing vital to the topic and dwelling with particular emphasis upon those parts o it that are most obscure to beginners. By way of illustration the author concludes her expositions by giving several brief synopses of well-known scenario stories and the continuity and scene plot of a model photoplay, “Telemachus, Friend.” Contents: ow scenario writing is different; How and where to get scenario ideas; The thought back of your story; The plot; The characters; The character cast; Locale and atmosphere; The commercial side: Titles and screen terms; The art of picturizing; What is and what is not possible on the screen; Continuity and scene plot.
