So many people watch films and yet so few know how to write a film well. Film writing is a very specific art form. Over the past twenty-something years of writing film, Janet van Eeden made every mistake in the book and eventually turned to experts to learn to hone her craft effectively. Using the advice from screenwriting experts such as Robert McKee and Christopher Vogler, amongst many others, Janet van Eeden developed an effective approach to screenwriting.
Cut to the chase breaks down the essentials of writing for film. Janet van Eeden uses her experience of writing feature films and short films for more than two decades as well as her many years of lecturing in a series of eight modules with practical tasks to implement the knowledge given in each section. This user-friendly manual unlocks the world of film writing for students.
Cut to the chase includes a step-by-step writing programme for each reader, setting specific tasks after each module so that the reader can build up their own film script. At the end of the course, the reader will have been guided towards writing a well-thought-out first draft script that would be written to internationally acceptable standards.
