Description
Writing the Short Film provides a comprehensive guide to creating a dramatic narrative for film. By taking students and novice screenwriters through the storytelling process, from conception to dramatization and characterization, this book teaches how to craft a complete story in a concise format.
The book covers traditional filmic considerations while allowing for experimentation, with exercises, new examples of short screenplays, and an examination of various genres. The third edition includes new screenplays, a chapter on reframing your script, and a chapter on the future of short films.
