Once you understand the basics of screenwriting, ideas for your next screenplay are everywhere. Whether it comes from a favorite children’s book, a summer novel you discover accidentally, a news story that catches your imagination, or a chapter from your own life — advanced screenwriting strategies should now guide you through your first adaptation. In Screen Adaptation: Beyond the Basics, award-winning screenwriter Eric Williams uses examples from award-winning screenplays to explain new storytelling techniques. His real-world examples illustrate a range of advanced approaches — including new ways to identify and craft tension, how to reimagine structure and character, and how to strengthen emotional depth in your characters and in the audience. Screen Adaptation: Beyond the Basics teaches readers new ways to engage with source material in order to make successful adaptation decisions, regardless of the source material. The book offers: Three detailed examples of award-winning adaptations by the author, including the complete short story and final scripts used in the Voices From the Heartland project; Breakout boxes highlighting modern and historical adaptations and providing examples for each concept discussed in the book; More than fifty charts providing easy-to-use visual representations of complex concepts; New screenwriting techniques developed by the author, including the Triangle of Knowledge, the Storyteller’s Parallax, and the idea of Super Genres as part of a Screenwriters Taxonomy.

Medienbildung wird im Deutschunterricht immer wichtiger. Durch veränderte Gegenstände und Formate ergeben sich neue Potenziale. Ein Fokus wird auf den Übergang zwischen stehenden und laufenden Bildern gelegt. Es werden au�erdem Möglichkeiten der fächerübergreifenden Ausbildung von Visual Literacy aufgezeigt und au�erschulische Lernorte einbezogen. Obwohl sich der Film als Gegenstand im Deutschunterricht etabliert hat, stellt sich die Frage nach Unterrichtskonzepten stetig neu. Dieser Sammelband thematisiert die permanente Veränderung der Inhalte, die im Kontext der Ausprägung von Visual Literacy zu betrachten sind, und fragt nach den Potenzialen, die neue Medien und Formate durch ihre vielfältigen Bild-Text-Bezüge bergen. Die Beiträge beantworten diese Fragen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, von der Literaturdidaktik über die Filmwissenschaft bis hin zur Medienpädagogik. Der Band legt den Fokus auf die Verknüpfung von schulischer und au�erschulischer Medienarbeit und diskutiert Anknüpfungsmöglichkeiten für den Deutschunterricht durch die au�erschulische Medienarbeit im Kino oder an weiteren au�erschulischen Lernorten sowie in anderen Fächern.

Martin M. Winkler argues for a new approach to various creative affinities between ancient verbal and modern visual narratives. He examines screen adaptations of classical epic, tragedy, comedy, myth, and history, exploring, for example, how ancient rhetorical principles regarding the emotions apply to moving images and how Aristotle's perspective on thrilling plot-turns can recur on screen. He also interprets several popular films, such as 300 and Nero, and analyzes works by international directors, among them Pier Paolo Pasolini (Oedipus Rex, Medea), Jean Cocteau (The Testament of Orpheus), Mai Zetterling (The Girls), Lars von Trier (Medea), Arturo Ripstein (Such Is Life), John Ford (westerns), Alfred Hitchcock (Psycho), and Spike Lee (Chi-Raq). The book demonstrates the undiminished vitality of classical myth and literature in our visual media, as with screen portrayals of Helen of Troy. It is important for all classicists and scholars and students of film, literature, and history.
