Screenwriting Poetics and the Screen Idea
by I. MacDonald and Ian W. Macdonald
Published 1 January 2013
A new, original investigation into how screenwriting works; the practices, creative 'poetics' and texts that serve the screen idea. Using a range of film, media and creative theories, it includes new case studies on the successful ITV soap Emmerdale, Hitchcock's first major screenwriter and David Lean's unfinished film, Nostromo.
