ScreenWriting Science is a new center for active screenwriters, story-tellers and people fascinated by the art and science of creative writing for movies.
So, what will
ScreenWriting Science
and the Screenplay Summaries do for you? Through an extensive analysis of screenplays from a broad spectrum of plot types and genres, ScreenWriting Science
has identified the fundamental Scene-Sequence structure that is common to essentially all successful feature films.
It is this structure that is captured in the Screenplay Summaries. The Screenplay Summaries will show you exactly how each screenplay uses the Scene and Sequence organization to present specific plot points to advance the story and create its emotional impact. In fact, you will see which Scenes in which Sequences are critical. So, choose movies that are similar to the one you are interested in using as a model in your own writing. You can also look at screenplays that cover your sub-plot. Along with your synopsis, the Screenplay Summaries immediately give you a detailed model of the event milestones, key plot point types, pacing, location changes, and the positioning of respite and exposition scenes of your story. The
Scene and Sequence structure gives you the template to write the dialogue, action and location descriptions.
The Screenplay Summaries are 7-12 page PDF documents that capture both the events and structural organization of successful classic and contemporary movies. Each movie was selected as a representative from a broad spectrum of genres, plots and event types. You can use the Screenplay Summaries as Templates and Event Road Maps to guide and model your own writing, or simply enjoy reading to appreciate the construction of the story. After purchasing Screenplay Summaries though our secure payment PayPal-linked system, you will immediately be able to download the Summary directly to your computer. The download link is located in the invoice that will appear both on this site after your purchase and in an e-mail sent to your registration address. Just click on 'Alphabetical Listing' for a full list and a brief description of the utility of each Screenplay Summary, or search the sub-directories if you know what you are looking for. Please note that new Screenplay Summaries are added regularly - so check back often.
