Action. How to Create a Gripping Plot in Film, Games, and Literature
14.99 €
Robert McKee is a renowned screenwriting master, author of the legendary bestseller "The Million-Dollar Story," and one of the most respected consultants in the worlds of film and literature. In his new book, he and former host of The Story Toolkit podcast, Bassim El-Wakil, address a unique genre in film, games, and literature: action. The authors offer readers key principles for plotting, developing character development, and creating dynamic and truly gripping narratives.

This is not just a collection of rules, but a thorough analysis of the dramatic nature of action, helping you understand what drives a story forward and how to make every scene vibrant and meaningful. This theory is supported by striking examples from masterpieces and hits of world cinema and literature. The authors teach you to see cause-and-effect relationships and use action as a powerful tool for expressing the inner world of your characters and developing conflict.
