Description

Script readers are crucial to the film industry, often responsible for determining whether a script is even looked at by a producer or development executive, yet those accountable for reading can be on the first rung of the industry ladder and have had little or no training for the task. This user-friendly 'how-to' guide, written by one of the UK's leading script analysis specialists, lays bare the process of analysing film scripts. It also includes a full resource section listing useful print and online publications, organisations and associations.
