{"product_id":"constructing-dialogue-mark-axelrod-9781441174253","title":"Constructing Dialogue","description":"Unlike most screenwriting guides that generally analyze several aspects of screenwriting, \u003ci\u003eConstructing Dialogue\u003c\/i\u003e is devoted to a more analytical treatment of certain individual scenes and how those scenes were constructed to be the most highly dramatic vis á vis their dialogue. In the art of screenwriting, one cannot separate how the scene is constructed from how the dialogue is written. They are completely interwoven. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach chapter deals with how a particular screenwriter approached dialogue relative to that particular scene's construction. From \u003ci\u003eCitizen Kane\u003c\/i\u003e to \u003ci\u003eThe Fisher King\u003c\/i\u003e the storylines have changed, but the techniques used to construct scene and dialogue have fundamentally remained the same. The author maintains that there are four optimum requirements that each scene needs in order to be successful: maintaining scenic integrity; advancing the storyline, developing character, and eliciting conflict and engaging emotionally. Comparing the original script and viewing the final movie, the student is able to see what exactly was being accomplished to make both the scene and the dialogue work effectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Axelrod\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1441174257\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781441174253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/07\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.90w x 1.00d","brand":"Mark Axelrod","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425260454143,"sku":"9781441174253","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a4149f04-ba69-4701-abb5-b6ca5df6a8e2.jpg?v=1761538043","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/constructing-dialogue-mark-axelrod-9781441174253","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
