An illustrated, accessible introduction to filmmaking from a Hollywood screenwriter, producer, script consultant, and film school professor

Bringing a film to life requires skills in storytelling, the visual arts, logistics, and more. This book presents many critical principles of filmmaking, including:
  • How to structure and pitch a screenplay
  • How to make visible the invisible, such as backstory, motivation, and inner psychology
  • Why it's best to keep your characters plunging into the unknown
  • The difference between plot, story, and theme
  • How to compose a frame visually
  • How to manage finances, schedules, set logistics, sound, and lighting
  • Why many films drag in Act 2, and what to do about it
Written by an award-winning producer, screenwriter, and script consultant to major movie studios, 101 Things I Learned® in Film School is an indispensable resource for students, screenwriters, filmmakers, animators, and anyone interested in the movie world.
