Description
Screenwriting: The Sequence Approach by Paul Gulino offers a fresh perspective on writing feature-length screenplays. By breaking down a screenplay into manageable sequences of 15 pages, writers can tackle the challenges posed by their script with greater ease. This approach has its roots in early Hollywood cinema and has been successfully applied at film schools such as the University of Southern California, Columbia University, and Chapman University. The book provides an in-depth analysis of eleven significant feature films made between 1940 and 2000, offering a unique insight into the dramatic aspects of each sequence. By applying the principles outlined in this book, writers can improve their craft and create more engaging screenplays.
