Book Reviews of How to Write a Movie in 21 Days: The Inner Movie MethodBook Review: Good Entry Level Guide to Screenwriting Summary: 4 Stars
Vicki King does well in explaining the formulaic basics. She offers practical exercises and directions. Best of all, she encourages you to think, yes, I CAN write a screenplay. And no, it won't take years to do. This is the first book I ever read on the topic, and I occasionally still refer to it. Since it is modestly priced, I highly recommend it to anybody considering the effort of creating a film story.
Book Review: Simple, inexpensive guide to start screen writing. Summary: 5 Stars
For anyone trying their hand at screen writing for the first time this is a great place to start. A simple, easy-to-understand guide to help anyone start the daunting task of turning a blank page into their first screen play. Knowing how and where to start can be the most difficult part of writing any format but with this daily guide pushing a reader through the process it makes everything a lot easier.
Book Review: Useful Tool for the Impossible Summary: 5 Stars
Written in a conversational tone, 21 days, is filled with exercises to get the creative juices flowing. If anything, you'll come out with a great beginning or "random" draft if you adhere to the exercises. I started reading the book for my screenwriting class and I expected to hate it. But, I must say, that I totally recommend the book to anyone who's got at least a desire to write a screenplay.
Book Review: 21 days to write it and 1 second to reach the bin ! Summary: 1 Stars
It simply didn't work for me.If you are beginner, you need more than this little book.The Screenwriter bible by David Trottier is the ONE.Do not expect to write any good stories in 21 days.Stop dreaming and start writing.This book is kind of hard to read so if it's for beginner, it is just done to to make your learning more difficult than anything else. Forget it and follow my advice above.
Book Review: Write a movie? Easy..... Summary: 5 Stars
This fills in my "library" very well. I am trying to put together a movie script and the ideas by Viki King are helping me on the way. Each book has its own slant on how to write the great Oscar winner and this one includes some really good "posers" to help get through writers block. Now I just have to get up off my duff and complete my script. Wish the book could do the typing....
