ace the coding interview with Python and JavaScript

本書是影像創作者與編劇領域中極具影響力的經典之作，致力於突破傳統好萊塢敘事公式，引導創作者思考「除了主流之外，還能如何說故事」。作者從結構、角色、時間、觀點與形式等面向出發，先清楚剖析主流敘事的運作方式，再進一步提出多元且具實驗性的替代路徑，說明不同選擇將如何改變觀眾的觀看經驗與作品的敘事力量。全書以清楚、理性的語言討論創作問題，不流於速成技巧或市場公式，而是鼓勵編劇與導演建立屬於自己的敘事判斷力。書中融合美國敘事工藝與歐洲藝術電影思維，適合希望深化劇本結構理解、挑戰既有規則、追求創作自由度的影像創作者閱讀。對於電影、電視、串流影集與影像藝術領域的學生與專業工作者而言，皆是不可或缺的重要參考。Alternative Scriptwriting 4E is an insightful and inspiring book on screenwriting concerned with challenging you to take creative risks with genre, tone, character, and structure.
