Inhaltsangabe

Crafting Short Screenplays that Connect introduces the essential element of 'human connection' - the ability to 'touch' the reader or observer - to the screenwriting and story creation process for short films. Claudia Hunter Johnson teaches the craft of short screenplay writing by guiding you through carefully focused writing exercises of increasing length and complexity. You will learn how to think more deeply about the screenwriter's purposes, craft an effective pattern of human change, and hone your vision and process for your short screenplays.
Groundbreaking book that stresses human connection as the basis of a good screenplay-not conflict
Includes a website with short films of the screenplays which are analyzed in the book & ample exercises for practice and inspiration
Recommended by the American Film Institute!
