The Basic Basics of Screenwriting
Welcome to the "Basic Basics of Screenwriting" - I will be the first to admit that calling a book the "basic basics" is equivalent to calling myself “AAAA Plumbing” in hopes of being at the front of the alphabet. The reality is that there are a number of "basic" books out there and so, why not, toss in the second basic to get my point across. You might be asking yourself: Why .99? My response to that is: Why not? The actual "book" part of this publication is approximately 50 pages long. Not enough, really, to justify putting a price-tag on it. I also used modified versions of some of the hand-outs I provide to my students in my screenwriting class. And...since this is the "basic basics" - most everything I talk about in the book is real short-sweet-and-to-the-point. My hope is that you'll be able to get started with what I've written and go on and purchase bigger/better/more involved books (that are more than 50 pages) and really take your screenwriting up another notch.

Much of the magic surrounding his legendary name had vanished by the time F. Scott Fitzgerald—forty-one years old, deeply in debt, full of remorse that “I had been only a mediocre caretaker of most things left in my hands, even of my talent”—mounted a third assault on the money of Hollywood and, by writing this adaptation of Remarque’s Three Comrades, proved that the writer, if not the man, had survived the famed “crack-up.” The screenplay for Three Comrades, starring Robert Young, Margaret Sullavan, Franchot Tone, and Robert Taylor, ultimately was the result of the collaboration of E. E. Paramore and producer Joseph Mankiewicz, though Fitzgerald fought to salvage as much of his original script as possible. By his own reckoning, only about a third of the final script was his, and “all shadows and rhythm removed.” The script published here is the one Fitzgerald tried desperately to save. Neither Mankiewicz nor Paramore has written a line. This script is,.. Monty Python's Big Red Book (Mandarin Humour)
