Synopsis

Make the Hollywood Formula Work for You

As a screenwriter, you have a difficult task even after the script is complete: You have to break into Hollywood. Rob Tobin, who has read thousands of screenplays in his job as a script reader and development executive, has developed the formula to get a script from page to production - and he's sharing it with you!

The Screenwriting Formula is not just about how to write a killer screenplay - it also explains the structure that movie executives are looking for, as well as how to transform an idea into a fully-loaded script, packed with action and ready to go. You'll learn how to:

• Use the seven basic story elements to instantly grab an audience's attention and, more importantly, keep it
• Develop character and plot in new ways through creating a backstory and telling both the objective and subjective story
• Structure your script so that it gets noticed by movie makers
• Craft a winning logline that will ensure a good pitch

Plus, to help illustrate the formula, Tobin develops a story from beginning to end, showing you step-by-step how to make the most of this exclusive trade secret.

With The Screenwriting Formula, you have everything you need to take you from idea to the big screen.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It's a common misconception that formula films are bad. Bad films aren't formulaic - and that's the problem. In this guide, beginning scriptwriters will learn how to structure their screenplay by using seven critical elements (The Formula) so that every other element falls into place perfectly, creating a saleable, high concept movie.Screenwriter, novelist and lecturer Rob Tobin takes the mystery out of writing and analysing scripts, and making formulaic a good word again by presenting the keys to a successful and saleable script.
