Four Screenplays
Author: Syd Field
Publisher: Delta
ISBN: 0307569527
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
Yes, you can write a great screenplay. Let Syd Field show you how. “I based Like Water for Chocolate on what I learned in Syd's books. Before, I always felt structure imprisoned me, but what I learned was structure really freed me to focus on the story.”—Laura Esquivel Technology is transforming the art and craft of screenwriting. How does the writer find new ways to tell a story with pictures, to create a truly outstanding film? Syd Field shows what works, why, and how in four extraordinary films: Thelma & Louise, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, The Silence of the Lambs, and Dances with Wolves. Learn how: Callie Khouri, in her first movie script, Thelma & Louise, rewrote the rules for good road movies and played against type to create a new American classic. James Cameron, writer/director of Terminator 2: Judgement Day, created a sequel integrating spectacular special effects and a story line that transformed the Terminator, the quintessential killing machine, into a sympathetic character. This is how an action film is written. Ted Tally adapted Thomas Harris's chilling 350-page novel, The Silence of the Lambs, into a riveting 120-page script—a lesson in the art and craft of adapting novels into film. Michael Blake, author of Dances with Wolves, achieved every writer's dream as he translated his novel into an uncompromising film. Learn how he used transformation as a spiritual dynamic in this work of mythic sweep. Informative and utterly engrossing, Four Screenplays belongs in every writer's library, next to Syn Field's highly acclaimed companion volumes, Screenplay, The Screenwriter's Workbook, and Selling a Screenplay. “If I were writing screenplays . . . I would carry Syd Field around in my back pocket wherever I went.”—Steven Bochco, writer/producer/director, L.A. Law, Hill Street Blues

Book Description
Here are five stories for young adults to thrill and scare. Christopher Grant’s signature style is sure to keep you up at night! Warning: This ebook contains graphic bloody imagery and disturbing content. Adults should review carefully before allowing a child in their care to read these stories. 1. CONNECTED: A Tale of Suspense Even though they have only known each other for two months, Bo and Laura have fallen head over heels in love. The two get married and have no doubt that their love will ever cease; after all they were like two peas in a pod. Luckily they have the same interests and both enjoy living life on the edge, and have done many things that have made others cringe. However, even though they have done some of the most dangerous activities of all time, Laura is leery about driving in the bad weather to her in-law’s house. However, the couple decides to go ahead and make that journey together. Could the drive to Bo’s parents be their last thrill ride together? 2. My Sister, My Love: A Young Adult Horror Story How close is the bond between sisters, and what happens when the bond is torn asunder? In this terrifying story, the horror doesn’t end. 3. Snuffed: A Young Adult Horror Story Some matches are made in Heaven, and some matches are made in Hell. Marie and Eric aren’t the first type at all. 4. THE BREAK: A Young Adult Suspense Story Sam and his buddies have been working hard all semester. They have a big game coming up, along with midterms, but yearn for a small break. Every year there is rumor of a huge mysterious party, but they haven’t been. Walter somehow gets directions to the party and begs and pleads his friends to take the break they have needed to go. Friday night finally arrives and they take off but quickly get lost. They desperately try to find someone to help them and after their long search, they finally do. But this odd and crazy man isn’t interested in helping them, only himself. Will they ever get to “the” party or did they just arrive? 5. WITHOUT A GUN: A Moral Story Billy is a newly sworn in police officer for New York City, and he believes that he will never have to fire a bullet in his life. His father was a police officer, and retired without even taking out his gun. But little did he know that on his first day of work he was going to get into something that was well over his head. And being paired up with the beautiful Miss Cookie Wilson, who was absolutely against him being her partner, didn’t make it any easier. She was determined to show him that he is just not cut out for this job. And after making the worst rookie mistake ever, he knew that if he didn’t take matters in his own hands, his career would be over. But would Billy and his partner live to tell about it?

Hot Air
Author: Jeffrey Simpson
Publisher: Emblem Editions
ISBN: 1551994186
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
Here’s a clear, believable book for Canadians concerned about our situation — and it offers a solution. It’s a brilliant mix. To “Canada’s best mind on the environment,” Mark Jaccard, who won the 2006 Donner Prize for an academic book in this area, you add Nic Rivers, a researcher who works with him at Simon Fraser University. Then you add Jeffrey Simpson, the highly respected Globe and Mail columnist, to punch the message home in a clear, hard-hitting way. The result is a unique book. Most other books on energy and climate change are: (a) terrifying or (b) academic or (c) quirky, advocating a single, neat solution like solar or wind power. This book is different. It starts with an alarming description of the climate threat to our country. Then it shifts to an alarming description of how Canadians have been betrayed by their politicians (“We’re working on it!”), their industrialists (“Things aren’t that bad, really, and voluntary guidelines will be good enough.”), and even their environmentalists (“Energy efficiency can be profitable, and people can change their lifestyles!”) All of this, of course, reinforces the myths that forceful policies are not needed. Hot Air then lays out in convincing and easily understandable terms the few simple policies that Canada must adopt right away in order to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next few decades. It even shows how these policies can be designed to have minimal negative effects. With evidence from other countries that are successfully addressing climate change, Hot Air shows why these are the only policies that will work — and why this is a matter of life and death for all of us.

Sports Betting and Bookmaking
Author: Arne K. Lang
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 144226554X
Category : Games & Activities
Languages : en
Pages : 307
Book Description
Horse racing in America dates back to the colonial era when street races were a common occurrence. The commercialization of horse racing produced a sport that would briefly surpass all others in popularity, with annual races such as the Kentucky Derby, Preakness, and Belmont Stakes growing to rank among America’s most celebrated sporting events. From the very onset, horse racing and gambling were intertwined. As the popularity of racing and betting grew, so, too, did the controversies and corruption. Yet, despite the best efforts of social reformers, bookmakers stubbornly plied their trade, adapting and evolving as horse racing gave way to team sports as the backbone of their business. In Sports Betting and Bookmaking: An American History, Arne K. Lang provides a sweeping overview of legal and illegal sports and race betting in the United States, from the first thoroughbred meet at Saratoga in 1863 through the modern day. The cultural war between bookmakers and their adversaries is a recurring theme, as bookmakers were often forced into the shadows during times of social reform, only to bloom anew when the time was ripe. While much of bookmaking’s history takes place in New York, other locales such as Chicago, Las Vegas, and Atlantic City—not to mention Cyberspace—are also discussed in this volume. A comprehensive exploration of the evolution of bookmaking—including the legal developments and technological advancements that have taken place over the years—Sports Betting and Bookmaking is a fascinating read. This informative and engaging book will be of interest to anyone wanting to learn more about America’s long history with gambling on horse racing and team sports.

Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark
Author: Mary Janigan
Publisher: Vintage Canada
ISBN: 0307400638
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 450
Book Description
The first big book on one of the most overlooked episodes in Canadian history, and the origin of today's greatest national debate, Let the Eastern Bastards Freeze in the Dark relives the 1918 attempt by 3 premiers to wrest control of their natural resources away from Ottawa--and end their role as second-class provinces. The oil sands. Global warming. The National Energy Program. Though these seem like modern Canadian subjects, Mary Janigan reveals them to be a legacy of longstanding regional rivalry. Something of a "Third Solitude" since entering Confederation, the West has long been overshadowed by Canada's other great national debate. But as the conflict over natural resources and their effect on climate change heats up, 150 years of antipathy are coming to a head. Janigan takes readers back to a pivotal moment in 1918, when Canada's western premiers descended on Ottawa determined to control their own future--and as Margaret MacMillan did in Paris 1919, she deftly illustrates how the results reverberate to this day.

Rise the Dark

Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Rise the dark. These were the last words written in Lauren Novak's notebook before she was murdered in a strange Florida village. They've never meant anything to the police or to her husband, investigator Markus Novak. Now the man he believes killed her is out of prison, and draws Markus to the place he's avoided for so long: the lonely road where his wife was shot to death beneath the cypress trees and Spanish moss in a town called Cassadaga. In Red Lodge, Montana, a senseless act of vandalism shuts the lights off in the town where Sabrina Baldwin is still trying to adjust to a new home and mourning the loss of her brother, who was a high voltage linesman just like her husband, Jay. As the spring's final snowstorm calls Jay deeper into the mountains, chasing the destruction on the electrical grid, Sabrina is abducted by Garland Webb, the man Markus Novak believes killed his wife. Drawing them all together is a messianic villain who understands that you can never outpace your past. You can only rise against the future.
