While most other books give you the bread and butter, this book gave you a lot of formatting cues that the other books don't give you. I would read this in addition to other books I've read on screenwriting.
I read this book to help me with writing. This is a great book to compliment the "Filmmaking For Dummies" book by the same publisher. It covers a wide variety of screenwriting types and methods.
I was at a loss before reading this but it helped me a LOT. Very easy to follow & helpful to all aspiring screenwriters.
Fact is, I never finished this...
Helpful for my secret project!!
Good book for aspiring screenwriters.
Informed, easy to follow and inspiring!
Good summary of what needs to be known and thought about. I need to reread it and do more research on what the author brings up. This book is helpful, I recommend it for a beginner like me.
This book was complete and helpful. The author's optimism may be too generous though. If read, I highly recommend reading Your Screenplay Sucks! in addition--they compliment each other well.
