Hollywood Standard. How to Write a Screenplay for Film and TV That Will Sell

The book by Michael Hauge "Hollywood Standard: How to Write a Screenplay for Film and TV That Will Sell" has remained the most comprehensive guide for screenwriters in film and television for over 20 years. This fully updated edition reflects the latest trends in the art and business of cinema. The guru of cinema describes each step in detail - from the idea to the sale of the screenplay. Based on the premise that the main thing is the perfection of the screenplay itself, Hauge teaches how to achieve textual perfection, never losing sight of all the components of commercial success. Knowing everything about cinema, the author provides psychologically accurate advice on how to approach the right people and gain their interest, supplies the reader with comprehensive recommendations on organizational structures and sources of information, analyzes individual scenes from numerous successful films, and provides a complete analysis of the screenplay for the film "Avatar." And all of this is written so persuasively by Hauge that even someone who has never considered a career in cinema will want to take up screenwriting.
