Hollywood’s script guru teaches you how to write a screenplay in “the ‘bible’ of screenwriting” ( The New York Times )—now celebrating forty years of screenwriting success! Syd Field’s books on the essential structure of emotionally satisfying screenplays have ignited lucrative careers in film and television since 1979. In this revised edition of his premiere guide, the underpinnings of successful onscreen narratives are revealed in clear and encouraging language that will remain wise and practical as long as audiences watch stories unfold visually—from hand-held devices to IMAX to virtual reality . . . and whatever comes next.    As the first person to articulate common structural elements unique to successful movies, celebrated producer, lecturer, teacher and bestselling author Syd Field has gifted us a classic text. From concept to character, from opening scene to finished script, here are fundamental guidelines to help all screenwriters—novices and Oscar-winners—hone their craft and sell their work.    In  Screenplay , Syd Field can help you discover: • Why the first ten pages of every script are crucial to keeping professional readers’ interest • How to visually “grab” these influential readers from page one, word one  • Why structure and character are the basic components of all narrative screenplays • How to adapt a novel, a play, or an article into a saleable script • Tips on protecting your work—three ways to establish legal ownership of screenplays • Vital insights on writing authentic dialogue, crafting memorable characters, building strong yet flexible storylines (form, not formula), overcoming writer's block, and much more   Syd Field is revered as the original master of screenplay story structure, and this guide continues to be the industry’s gold standard for learning the foundations of screenwriting.



David E. Edey - Executor Help artwork Executor Help
How to Settle an Estate Pick an Executor and Avoid Family Fights
David E. Edey
Genre: Reference
Price: $12.99
Publish Date: August 19, 2021
Publisher: FriesenPress
Seller: FriesenPress Inc

David Edey wants to save you a lot of trouble! In this self-help book he clearly, concisely, and repeatedly explains why it is important that every individual appoint an executor of their estate; what it means to be an executor of an estate; and how having a knowledgeable and responsible executor can help ensure a family’s wealth, welfare, health, and future happiness. The book is filled with advice, tips, and many real-life examples demonstrating what can go wrong (and what can go right), depending on whether or not families plan accordingly in advance, communicate clearly with one another, and are willing to put petty and selfish differences aside. No one likes talking about death and inheritances before they absolutely have to, but as Edey learned from personal experience, having these conversations earlier, rather than later, will save a lot of time and money, alleviate a ton of stress and ill feeling, and ensure that the deceased’s wishes are properly and efficiently carried out.

Theme Is What Your Story Is Really About Theme—the mysterious cousin of plot and character. Too often viewed as abstract rather than actionable, theme is frequently misunderstood and left to chance. Some writers even insist theme should not be purposefully implemented. This is unfortunate, because in many ways theme is story. Theme is the heart, the meaning, the point. Nothing that important should be overlooked. Powerful themes are never incidental. They emerge from the conjunction of strong plots and resonant character arcs. This means you can learn to plan and implement theme. In doing so, you will deepen your ability to write not only stories that entertain, but also stories that stay with readers long after the end. Writing Your Story's Theme will teach you: • How to create theme from plot and character. • Why every supporting character and subplot should enhance the theme. • How to prevent theme from seeming preachy or "on the nose." • What to consider in identifying the best theme for any given story. • And much more! Conscious mastery of theme will elevate every story you write and allow you to craft fiction of depth and meaning. Take Control of Your Story Via a Powerful Implementation of Theme

Pourquoi l’Ukraine est-elle est en train de perdre la guerre contre la Russie?? Comment les deux camps pensent-ils et mènent-ils leurs opérations?? Quelles ont été les erreurs de part et d’autre?? Comment l’Occident a-t-il contribué à la défaite ukrainienne?? Pour répondre à ces questions et à bien d’autres, Jacques Baud s’appuie sur des informations officielles ainsi que sur des documents américains, occidentaux et russes. Il explique la manière dont la Russie comprend et conduit la guerre. Il montre combien l’incapacité des Occidentaux à saisir cette réalité et leur détermination à affaiblir la Russie s’est retournée contre l’Ukraine. Après les best-sellers Poutine?: maître du jeu?? , Opération Z et Ukraine entre guerre et paix , dont le travail d’analyse a été salué dans le monde entier et qui ont été traduits dans plusieurs pays, l’auteur revient sur la guerre en Ukraine. Il expose la manière dont la Russie l’a menée et révèle comment l’image qu’en ont donnée les Occidentaux a conduit l’Ukraine à l’échec. Jacques Baud a été membre du renseignement stratégique suisse, spécialiste des pays de l’Est et ancien chef de la doctrine des opérations de maintien de la paix des Nations unies.
