Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Photoplay Writer The demand for photoplays is greater to-day than ever before, and, according to authoritative accounts, this demand will go on steadily increasing. New companies are starting up; new theatres are being opened; and everyone who has made a study of this wonderful and fascinating motion picture industry is of the opinion that it is merely in its infancy. Before getting right down to information and instruction and advice, 1 am going to say a few words of encouragement. I realise that among those who will read this little book are many who have ideas, but have lacked either the courage i?r the technical knowledge or the power of expression to mold these ideas into stories or dramas. To those timid or unversed ones, let me say emphatically that photoplay writing offers great opportunities to them, provided, always, that their ideas are of such quality and quantity as to form sterling photoplays. Here there are no requirements of style and sparkling dialogue to fill; you are not restricted to three or four acts into which all the action must converge, as in the stage play; nor are you called upon to display literary ability in the powerful and graceful handling of narrative and imagery, as in a story. All such difficulties are cleared away from the path of the photoplay writer. When an idea occurs to him, he has simply to jot it down and add to it as his imagination pictures the developing plot (subject to a few simple rules) until he has a sequence of incidents that form an interesting story. For that is all a photoplay is - just a story told in pictures. And everyone has a story - if not a bag of stories - tucked away in the corners of his mind. One doesn´t have to live where life is a teeming and surging in order to write a successful scenario. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
