This book offers the unique perspective on crafting your screenplay from the eye of an editor. Special features include before and after examples from preproduction scripts to postproduction final cuts giving screenwriters an opportunity to understand how their screenplay is visualized in the editing room.

By the time a script reaches the editing room, it has passed through many hands and many changes. The producer, production designer, director, cinematographer, and actor have all added their influence in the process before coming into the editor's hands. There are few scripts that can withstand the careful scrutiny of the editing room. This book reveals how to develop a script that will retain its original vision and intent under the harsh light of the editing console. It provides the insights that writers (as well as producers and directors) need, and that editors can provide, for a safe journey from the printed page to the final release.

This book is ideal for aspiring and early career screenwriters as well as filmmakers and established screenwriters who want to gain a better understanding of the editing process.

Industry Reviews

"I have nothing but praise for John Rosenberg's The Final Rewrite which presents an extraordinary view of the filmmaking process illustrating the key creative contributions of writers and editors. This book is a must for anyone teaching screenwriting or production in the importance ofcollaboration, and corrects the common belief that directors are the sole authors of their work."
