This book contains comprehensive scene-by-scene outlines & analyses of 12 successful movies and is written by a produced screenwriter. As a film student or screenwriter, the book is an invaluable reference to how successful films in different genres are structured. Deconstructing a screenplay in this way helps writers understand the aspects of story structure we do not normally comprehend when watching a movie. The book can be read independently or as a companion to Movie Outline screenwriting software when writing your own script. Comparing the progression of these narratives and character arcs while writing your own project is highly recommended.
