Vale's Technique of Screen and Television Writing, Revised Edition is the author's updated and expanded version of his classic book about the craft and mystery of writing screenplays and teleplays. This revision - of a work acclaimed as one of the best ever written on the subject - provides practical advice for the aspiring and established writer, while distinguishing the unique features of film and television from other forms of dramatic exposition.
Vale's method emphasizes thinking in terms of the camera, defines the realities of filmmaking and traces the evolution of Western storytelling from Aeschylus, through Shakespeare, to the masters of modern cinema. Both philosophical and pragmatic, this is a guidebook for students, professional authors, others who wish to improve their writing skills, and for all film and television enthusiasts interested in knowing more about what they see on the screen.
