What’s the Story? The Director Meets Their Screenplay
Author: Peter Markham
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1000173895
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 293
Book Description
A structured perspective on the crucial interface of director and screenplay, this book encompasses twenty-two seminal aspects of the approach to story and script that a director needs to understand before embarking on all other facets of the director’s craft. Drawing on seventeen years of teaching filmmaking at a graduate level and on his prior career as a director and in production at the BBC, Markham shows how the filmmaker can apply rigorous analysis of the elements of dramatic narrative in a screenplay to their creative vision, whether of a short or feature, TV episode or season. Combining examination of such fundamental topics as story, premise, theme, genre, world and setting, tone, structure, and key images with the introduction of less familiar concepts such as cultural, social, and moral canvas, narrative point of view, and the journey of the audience, What’s The Story? The Director Meets Their Screenplay applies the insights of each chapter to a case study—the screenplay of the short film Contrapelo, nominated for the Jury Award at Tribeca in 2014. This book is an essential resource for any aspiring director who wants to understand exactly how to approach a screenplay in order to get the very best from it, and an invaluable resource for any filmmaker who wants to understand the important creative interplay between the director and screenplay in bringing a story to life.

The Nutshell Technique
Author: Jill Chamberlain
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477303731
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 220
Book Description
Veteran script consultant Jill Chamberlain discovered in her work that an astounding 99 percent of first-time screenwriters don’t know how to tell a story. These writers may know how to format a script, write snappy dialogue, and set a scene. They may have interesting characters and perhaps some clever plot devices. But, invariably, while they may have the kernel of a good idea for a screenplay, they fail to tell a story. What the 99 percent do instead is present a situation. In order to explain the difference, Chamberlain created the Nutshell Technique, a method whereby writers identify eight dynamic, interconnected elements that are required to successfully tell a story. Now, for the first time, Chamberlain presents her unique method in book form with The Nutshell Technique: Crack the Secret of Successful Screenwriting. Using easy-to-follow diagrams (“nutshells”), she thoroughly explains how the Nutshell Technique can make or break a film script. Chamberlain takes readers step-by-step through thirty classic and contemporary movies, showing how such dissimilar screenplays as Casablanca, Chinatown, Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects, Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, Silver Linings Playbook, and Argo all have the same system working behind the scenes, and she teaches readers exactly how to apply these principles to their own screenwriting. Learn the Nutshell Technique, and you’ll discover how to turn a mere situation into a truly compelling screenplay story.

The Secret of Life Through Screenwriting
Author: Joy Cheriel Brown
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982237570

Languages : en
Pages : 50
Book Description
Over the last decade or so, the concept of the law of attraction has become very popular, which is the secret to making all of your dreams come true. The law of attraction teaches how life really works and how to have happiness and easily manifest your dreams instead of struggling. Essentially, it teaches the secret of life, and with more and more people becoming aware of the law of attraction with each passing year and learning how to manifest their desires, the storytelling of screenwriters will need to change and adapt to reflect that transformation of humanity. With the book, “The Secret of Life Through Screenwriting,” the goal is to teach an approach to screenwriting that guides writers to be able to craft an original screenplay that adheres to industry standards, without being formulaic, and still satisfies the writer by being meaningful and inspiring while teaching the audience the secret of life through screenwriting, and without stating directly that it is the law of attraction at work in the lives of the characters.

Publisher: For The Highest Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 372
Book Description
A heart-stirring journey about discovering inner peace, strength and self-love. Join Mary, as she unveils a profound truth: the real treasures of true love lie within. The Orchid is a peaceful and luxurious retreat founded by Mary and nestled in picturesque Northern California. Its unique healing and empowerment program, featuring invaluable lessons and exercises in awareness, gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance, and intention, are designed to ignite a transformation from within. It is in this holistic wellness setting where Mary and her team combine ancient wisdom with modern practices, creating a school and spa for the mind, body and soul which guides these women on their journey of introspection. Weekly, for over two decades, Mary and her team of expert teachers and healers, welcome 30 women each searching for a life-changing experience. Our story follows five closely: Nicole, battling societal pressures; Olivia, overcoming childhood traumas; Jennifer, seeking renewal after betrayal; Stephanie, a ex-model healing from pain; and Sofia, a business owner dealing with ethical challenges and anger. At its heart, the story is a celebration of emotional resilience, female solidarity, and the power of self-reflection. As the characters navigate their personal growth and transformation, you will too, becoming an active participant in their journey and process. The Orchid is an uplifting festival of emotions, a testament to life, growth, hope and self-love. Come and spend a week with us at The Orchid and prepare for an experience that will ignite your imagination, stir your emotions, and awaken the powerful goddess within you. What our advance readers are saying: “Each character´s personal journey reflects somehow a woman we know. In more than one case, I found myself mirroring my own wounds.” Adriana | Mexico “From the first few chapters, I found myself stopping to reflect on what was happening and the emotions the characters felt. It was as if I were going through the journey with them.” Amy | Ithaca “The Orchid changed my perspective, illustrating that anyone can view life through the eyes of love. It teaches that regardless of past challenges—be it personal struggles, trauma, or guilt—we can choose to forgive and move forward with love and understanding.” Charlotte | Los Angeles “The book is a life changing experience altogether. It really gives the reader a perspective on life and how to make it a better journey from within. It makes you feel happy and lighter because it helps you to navigate through this great gift we all have called life!” Claudia | Italy “A great fiction novel that is easy to read and will make you smile, possibly cry and root for your fellow women friends. You will see some aspects of yourself in the characters and end up loving them. The message is always positive - there is always calm after the storm even if one has to work through some challenges. The reward is worth it.” Claudia | Puerto Rico “The Orchid is particularly beneficial for anyone struggling to cope with their current life situation. It’s an ideal first step for those not open to or unable to seek professional help. It’s also suitable for anyone looking to improve any aspect of their daily life and aspiring to live their best life.” Denise | New York “The Orchid is not a book to be consumed quickly; it is a rich source of wisdom and insight that demands to be savored, contemplated, and internalized. It’s a timeless companion on your quest for self-discovery, offering solace, inspiration, and a roadmap to inner harmony. Allow this book to be a constant source of guidance, a wellspring of empowerment, and a reminder that the journey towards self-love is both infinite and profoundly rewarding.” Fernanda | Mexico “The Orchid changed my life. Ever since I opened it, little by little, it was like seeing the world through a different lens. I could understand the details, the changes, and adapt to them. And it left me with precious things like meditation and the awareness of being part of something bigger.” Marisol | Mexico “This book will give you an amazing and accurate view of what each and every one of us can do to exist with ourselves and each other in the most positive of ways. Even if you’re not a believer YET!” Michelle | Los Angeles “At the intersection of fiction and self-help, The Orchid does a great job of encouraging female empowerment delivered in a compelling storytelling style. Those who enjoyed the inner thoughts of the women in ‘Three Women’, or the empowered protagonist in ‘Lessons in Chemistry’ would really enjoy this book.” Sonya | Boston “A real-life story book full of honesty and reality wrapped with warmth and love. An emotional and spiritual opener with the goal of finding love, acceptance and growth…a joy to read. The writing is simple and clear. The detail and imagery is beautifully crafted to transport you to the literal landscape of the heavenly place called The Orchid where the story takes place. The story, the characters and the teachings lead you through an emotional journey of self-discovery always ending in a place of empowerment and love.” Vanessa | Hong Kong

With a newfound love of self, she swears off the days of sacrificing herself for the sake of a husband. As a new entrepreneur and wildly successful internet influencer, Emerson feels like she’s finally made it. But when a secret from her past and a new betrayal threaten everything she has worked for, her life quickly changes. Can Emerson keep all her scandals out of the limelight, or will everything she’s worked for fall apart right before her eyes? Mikayla King has a secret, and it’s big enough to bring her entire life crashing down. Her children, Kai and Zuri, are the only people keeping Mikayla grounded, until her relationship with her children is threatened too.

Can Mikayla overcome her demons to save her children, or will she see her worst fear realized and lose them?
