Charles Deemer's self-guided course
in writing the Hollywood screenplay
by Charles Deemer
FEATURES
Screenwright: the
craft of screenwriting is an electronic book and self-guided
course delivered electronically or on a 3.5" floppy disk. It
is driven by a powerful offline "browser" that has been
pre-loaded onto the disk, so that you navigate the course exactly
as you navigate the web (except, of course, you are offline). It
requires windows (any version) running on a 386 or faster PC.
You need 2M free space on your hard drive and 4M
RAM.
Screenwright has many features for the screenwriting
student:
- Two learning tracks: one for "tree people" (who
like to plan first) and one for "forest people"
(who like to jump right into a script)
- 12 different "modules" for easy progression
through the course
- Review of seven different screenplay paradigms, all of
which emerge from beginning-middle-end storytelling
- Step-by-step guides to writing an original screenplay

screenplays (and corresponding movies) from half a
century of movie making.

my shoulder as I write and rewrite a script - and

guidance of a producer, plus my commentary on the process.
