Screenwriting Tricks of the Trade: The Workshop [Audio Cassette]

William Froug (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 1998

Here is practical, write-from-the-gut advice that resounds with experience and integrity. William Froug explores how to keep the dramatic tension in your script and how to find the single line of action and the lines of counteraction. "What you feel is what counts," he says. He advises keeping the dialogue lean, getting intimate with your characters, revealing information only when it has impact, and knowing how to use the technique of foreshadowing.
