Product Description

Product Description

Contrasting and comparing the differences and similarities between feature films and short films, Writing Short Films offers readers the essential requirements necessary to make their writing crisp, sharp and compelling. Emphasising characters, structure, dialogue and story, Writing Short Films dispels the 'magic formula' concept that screenplays can be constructed by anyone with a word processor and a script formatting programme.


From the Publisher

Learn screenplay writing for shorter films
Writing a good screenplay, short or long, is a difficult job, and Writing Short Films offers readers the essential requirements necessary to make their writing crisp, sharp and compelling. Citing numerous examples from short films as well as feature films, Cowgill teaches strategies to keep a short film on track and writer's block at bay.

5.0 out of 5 stars A terrific guide for short film writing, 12 May 1999
By A Customer
A wonderful introduction to screenwriting for a shorter format. Filled with tips and strategies on structure, constructing scenes, developing characters. The book takes the writer's perspective, from start to finish. And it all starts with story. Author also gives examples you can find in video stores. Another bonus. And all the information in this book is transferable to writing feature length screenplays. A real find.
