Abstract

Learn the rules of scriptwriting, and then how to successfully break them!Unlike other screenwriting books, this unique guide pushes you to challenge yourself and break free of tired, formulaic writing--bending or breaking the rules of storytelling as we know them. Like the best-selling previous editions, seasoned authors Dancyger and Rush explore alternative approaches to the traditional three-act story structure, going beyond teaching you "how to tell a story" by teaching you how to write against conventional formulas to produce original, exciting material. The pages are filled with an international range of contemporary and classic cinema examples to inspire and instruct.

Abstract

It’s not about plot points! It’s not about structure! It’s not about character! It’s about EMOTION! There are three kinds of feelings when reading a story – boredom, interest, and WOW! To become a successful writer you must create the WOW! Feeling on as many pages as possible, and this requires writing that engages the reader emotionally. In his best-selling 101 Habits of Highly Successful Screenwriters, screenwriter Karl Iglesias explored the working habits of A-list Hollywood scribes. Now, he breaks new ground by focusing on the psychology of the reader. Based on his acclaimed classes at UCLA Extension, Writing for Emotional Impact goes beyond the basics and argues that Hollywood is in the emotion-delivery business, selling emotional experiences packaged in movies and TV shows. Karl not only encourages you to deliver emotional impact on as many pages as possible, he shows you how, offering you hundreds of dramatic techniques to take your writing to the professional. You’ll learn: Over 40 techniques to humanize a character for instant empathy. The seven essential storytelling emotions and over 70 techniques to create them. Over 50 ways to craft powerful scenes, including the Emotional Palette. Over 30 techniques to shape your words and energize your narrative description. The most common dialogue flaws and fixes for each. Over 60 techniques to craft dynamic dialogue that snaps, crackles, and pops off the page.

Abstract

In this book, award-winning film editor Niels Pagh Andersen opens the door to his editing room and to his own story. Based on Andersen's 40-year career, it offers a unique insight into his personal perspective on the art of editing and storytelling in documentary film.

*Order in Chaos* introduces the reader to the principles and methods of creative editing, and dives deep into the editing processes of 8 films that Andersen has edited. The focus is on the process of creation, and on questions such as: How do you find a story in chaotic material from reality? How does the film find it's emotional expression and tone? How does the dialogue between director and editor affect the final film?

With *Order in Chaos*, the reader gets access not only to exclusive clips from 8 films, but also filmed conversations on the editing process between Andersen and the films' directors, providing a rare look behind the scenes of some of the most significant documentaries in recent times.
