Syd Field Libri

Esistono, nei percorsi di scrittura di un romanzo o di un testo letterario, delle frasi precise per dare corpo ed espressione a un'idea. Il processo creativo, nel caso della sceneggiatura è identico, solo la forma è diversa. Questo manuale insegna a definire l'idea di base; a creare la struttura e il paradigma entro cui si svolgerà la narrazione; a dar vita ai personaggi e alle dinamiche visive della caratterizzazione; a scrivere i dialoghi. Affiancati da indicazioni precise, sono raccolti alla fine di ogni capitolo, degli esercizi che consentono di verificare quanto si è appreso. Un libro studiato e strutturato come un work-shop che permette di sviluppare il metodo migliore per scrivere una sceneggiatura cinematografica, di fiction televisiva e anche di uno spot pubblicitario. L'obiettivo non è quello di insegnare "come" scrivere ma, secondo una caratteristica propria dei manuali americani, con una buona dose di pragmatismo, "che cosa fare", quali tecniche utilizzare, come impostare il lavoro, chiarire e definire fino ai dettagli in quale direzione muoversi.
