A guide designed to help the beginning writer enter the world of short films, from travelogues to animated shorts. The book has been extensively revised and updated to include three new original short screenplays and detailed descriptions and photographs of two award-winning short films. Focusing on visualization, dialogue, settings, characters, structure and themes, the author provides a guide to writing scripts for films of less than 30 minutes, from gathering and organizing materials to writing, rewriting and formatting. Each new chapter includes revised ideas and examples. The glossary, bibliography, descriptions of short films, and the list of distributors of short films and videotapes have also been updated. Included are citations for short films and web site addresses useful to the short script writer.
Write something else or imagine one of your characters in an unusual situation (not in your book). Put them in a predicament where their true colors have to come out and imagine what they do. Put them in a life threatening situation or have an old love show up or a new enemy show up and see what you learn about them. Don't worry about writing it, just imagine it and get to know your character better. It will give you a fresh perspective.
