Book excerpt: Learn screenwriting by reexamining the movies you love! It’s fun and, with ScripTipps screenplay study guides, it’s easy! Stephen King’s debut novel, CARRIE, was adapted into the classic 1976 Brian De Palma horror film by Lawrence D. Cohen. The screenplay features a two-act structure, a passive protagonist, a weak primary antagonist, and a secondary antagonist who drives the plot. ScripTipps takes a detailed look at how these non-standard elements worked, uncovering dozens and dozens of practical screenwriting tips you can apply to original scripts or adaptations in any genre. ABOUT THE SERIES ScripTipps help aspiring screenwriters learn the craft of screenwriting through in-depth analyses of select screenplays that exhibit excellence in story structure, character development, and scene construction. Each ScripTipps screenplay study guide analyzes one movie and its story and screenplay in full, scene by scene, from beginning to middle to end, gleaning useful and practical screenwriting tips along the way.
