Decoding The Script

By Markus Innocenti

Many books have been written about how to write a screenplay, but there's very little information on how to read a screenplay. In this book, the first in The Filmmaker's Art series, screenwriter/director Markus Innocenti reveals how directors read, and how that reading allows them to build their vision for the film. There are clues that lie, almost unnoticed, in every screenplay. Having the ability to identify and 'decode' those clues separates directors from every other person who reads the script, and points the way to engaging and powerfully cinematic filmmaking. While Decoding The Script is an invaluable tool for directors, both emerging and established, it also allows producers, writers, actors and anyone with an interest in film to gain an insight into how directors approach their work.
