商品簡介
Bloore, a screenwriter and media business consultant specializing in business strategy, creativity, and drama development who teaches creativity at the U. of East Anglia, UK, provides students, writers, directors, producers, development executives, and academics with an explanation of the screenplay development process, in addition to the relationships between the writer, producer, directors, and financiers; models and typologies for analyzing films; and what is meant by creativity. He discusses how film scripts get written and the tensions between creative and financial aspects, as well as collaboration issues. Focusing on the independent film marketplace in Britain and Europe (although one chapter addresses issues in the Hollywood studio system and differences between independent and studio development), he draws on film books, interviews, and ideas from creativity theories, psychology, motivation, value chain models, and business and leadership theories to explain how to identify and work with the right people and how to access funding and build a sustainable business in development. He describes how films are financed and how this affects development and creativity, the pressure of the development process and commerce, how the development executive and script editor fit into the process, and business theories about managing creative people and teams and how they can be applied to the film industry. Each chapter ends with an interview or interview excerpts. He does not explain what a good story is or how to write it. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
