5.0 out of 5 stars I can't recommend it enough, 29 Jul 2009

By	J. lee (Sheffield, England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Writing a Screenplay (Pocket Essentials) (Paperback)

This little book should be read by everyone thinking of writing a feature movie. Right at the beginning he points out how the vast majority of spec scripts range from poor to awful, and that in Britain we have a problem.

It contains very useful insider knowledge, which is concisely written. We need to know this content, exactly what the standard structure and backstory is before we even attempt to type anything into our first draft.

The book emphasizes planning and preperation and motivation (big issue), and states the key steps in the process of writing a screenplay (FOR FEATURE MOVIES).

For such a small amount of money it's an absolute steal.
