Are you a beginning playwright? A new screenwriter? Are you a seasoned professional seeking proven practices in scriptwriting? Solid structure is the key, and in Scriptwriting Structure: To-the-Point Pointers, Bob May has spun Aristotle's theories and modern practices together to form his own structural techniques that have led to twenty-five of his scripts being published and hundreds of productions around the world.The right-to-the-point nature of the storytelling will make you feel as though Mr. May is talking directly to you, teaching his valuable lessons on:
- illustrating what dramatic action is
- understanding the importance of character objectives in scripts
- using proper formatting in plays or screenplays
- understanding and using a script structural technique known as PASTO
- applying Aristotle's Six Key Elements in the writing of scripts
