Original Author: Margaret Mehring
This book breaks down screenplays into the theory of it''s impact. The levels of the script process, how it conquers the
narrative strands of time & space, causality, sound and narrative functions of the film genre. Exercises are encouraged to promote strength in areas of screenwriting. A handful of past films are compared applying these rules. A doctorate and instructor that heads the USC film writing program, Mehring offers her experience to assist writers on their journey to live a dream. Write a screenplay the way you have it visualized in your mind. This book will allow you to construct your script into the story that you have always wanted to write.
