Description
A good Thriller will rupture the reality of your everyday world. It will put you on guard. Make you aware. That is the disquieting objective — successfully achieved — of this book as well.
Writing the Thriller Film concentrates on the Cosmos of Credibility, those not-so-obvious elements of screenwriting that contribute the essential meaning to a script. To do so, this book traces the thematic commonalities that actually define the genre, and offers corroboration from a number of screenplays, including such classics as North by Northwest, Marathon Man, and 3 Days of the Condor.
You will discover:
- The effect of the practical rules and physical expectations of the real world on the story
- The Timescape of the genre
- How both the protagonist and the antagonist must react to make a Thriller effective
- The need for your characters to make difficult choices with unexpected results
