It's always a good idea to improve your craft, right?
For us, part of that means improving our screenplays.
Well, recently, we were visiting some of our compatriots. We were discussing the latest screenplay that we're working on. They had a book sitting there called Writing a Great Movie by Jeff Kitchen.
Hmmm... We want to write a great movie!
So, we borrowed the book. (Don't worry, M & Z, we'll bring it back to you!)
We read it. It inspired us. And now we're making a few changes to our script. But, that's what it's all about, isn't it? What's the point with reading about screenwriting if it never affects your work?
Some other books that have inspired us in the past?
- Screenwriting Tricks of the Trade, by William Froug
- Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwriting, by Robert McKee (long title, but good book)
- Filmmaking: Narrative and Structural Techniques, by Bob Foss
Check them out!
