Recenzii

Every screenplay and every pilot is so vastly different. Paul Gulino is expertly aware of this, and manages to comprehensively teach the craft, not by imposing boiler plate rules, but by exposing the qualities and commonalities that make stories for the screen work, through a clear and nuanced exploration of structure. When it comes to learning, or reminding yourself, how to effectively build your narrative for the screen, I truly believe Screenwriting: The Sequence Approach is the only book you'll need.
Gulino's The Sequence Approach is my most often recommended screenwriting book and the reference I use to teach sequences. The new edition adds compelling contemporary material - Parasite and Insecure among others - and reveals how both film and television rely on smaller story units to build larger cinematic narratives.
A very welcome update of the previous edition! Screenwriting: The Sequence Approach analyses the most recent feature films and adds a whole section about prominent television series. In this expanded second edition, Paul Gulino includes a very relevant analysis of both recent films and very popular serial dramas to reveal how they strategically manage audience attention while delivering emotional payoffs. The book helps writers apply the sequence approach to film and serial screenwriting alike. Brilliant!
In this book, Paul Gulino moves the film audience center stage and explains the techniques you can use to enthrall them with your storytelling. Every insight is striking.
The book demystifies a process that too often seems cumbersome and overly complex.
With additional film analyses and a new section on television series, the 2nd edition of Screenwriting remains a highly relevant guide for writers to manage the macro and micro structure necessary for successful screenplays. Gulino's addition of television illuminates how sequencing is as viable a tool for screens of all sizes. This extension of Frank Daniel's fundamental pedagogy will continue to be central in my work with emerging writers.
