The Inside-Out Approach: Mastering the Four Ways of Screenwriting - Paperback

by Will Bligh (Author)

Popular formulas are the fastest way to ruin your screenplay. Break free from rules and start creating experiences using The Inside-Out Approach.

The biggest impediment for a screenwriter is not talent, time or money but false assumptions about how to write-in other words, working the 'wrong' way. This groundbreaking book re-accesses fundamental assumptions about writing a screenplay by focusing on why films engage and move audiences.

The Inside-Out Approach offers an in-depth examination of three facts all screenwriters need to come to terms with:

• Screenwriting is a process, not a set of rules.
• You are writing for the screen, not the page.
• No-one cares about a screenplay that doesn't move the audience.

This book opens up your potential by replacing the dogma of rules with a writing process based on four distinct mindsets, each reflecting aspects of how a spectator actively participates in a film story.

Because the approach is a framework for applying techniques, this book is also a companion to other screenwriting books, as it explains how diverse screenwriting ideas can be established within a rigorous process.
