Developing Characters for Script Writing

by Rib Davis

Developing Characters for Script Writing deals with the creation and writing of characters for the script media of stage, radio and screen. Presenting numerous examples and giving much practical advice, chapters deal with the roots of a character, the complex character, the relationship between character and plot, and audience identification with character. It is continually demonstrated that effective characterisation is first a matter of creating characters but then also of writing characters, so that each of them functions successfully within the particular script.
