Description
Writing for the screen is a meticulous process. A writer must carefully craft their prose, yet only a small portion of it is ever heard by the audience. In this book, Robert McKee shares his expertise on story structure, a foundation for success in the film industry. McKee's approach is not about providing a formula for quick success, but rather about rediscovering the underlying principles that guide the art of screenwriting. Drawing from a wide range of sources, including Aristotle and classic films, he offers valuable advice to help writers improve their craft. By exploring the core elements of storytelling, McKee provides a solid foundation for writers to build upon, helping them to create more engaging and effective screenplays.
