About this book:
Writing a Great Movie: Key Tools for Successful Screenwriting provides state-of-the-art training in a full spectrum of tools for creating, developing, and structuring a screenplay. Written for writers of all levels, this book is a practical manual in the craft of the dramatist and presents classic structural principles as well as cutting-edge techniques.
Jeff Kitchen has taught his tools to Hollywood development executives at all the major studios and they consistently say that he teaches the most advanced development tools in the film industry.
As Jeff explains each tool he illustrates them with comprehensive script analysis of Training Day, What Women Want, Minority Report, The Godfather, Tootsie, and Blade Runner. Then in the second half of the book, he builds a real screenplay from scratch, starting with a one-sentence idea. Jeff develops and constructs the entire plot as you watch, all the way through to dialog — describing every step as he works. Designed to demonstrate the tools in action, rather than merely discuss them, it represents the very real process that you will go through in putting together your own screenplay.
What they say:
“Theory blends with applied instruction in WRITING A GREAT MOVIE, which offers a manual of tools for aspiring screenwriters. From learning how to set theme and understanding basic dramatic situations to working up demo plots and understanding when to stop, WRITING A GREAT MOVIE moves from basics to advanced techniques and will find a home on the shelf of any serious ‘how to’ library.” — Mid-West Book Review
