Description

Robert McKee's Dialogue is a comprehensive guide to crafting effective speeches for characters in writing, theatre, and film. The book is divided into four sections, covering the art of dialogue, flaws and fixes, creating dialogue, and dialogue design.

Through detailed analysis of classic films and television programmes, McKee demonstrates how dialogue is constructed and developed, and provides practical advice on how to ensure dialogue holds the reader's or audience's attention, how to 'time' dialogue, and how to retain motivation and provide productive information within dialogue.

By dispelling common myths and providing expert guidance, McKee helps writers to eradicate bad habits, use emotion correctly, and avoid 'empty' dialogue, ultimately enhancing their style and achievements.
