Books on Writing Screenplay

Writing for the screen is a little different from writing for print as the screen is a much more visual medium. At least some basic knowledge about camera positioning, setting, casting and direction can make your script much more effective to adapt.

Here is a video that lists some of my favourite books on scriptwriting:

The books mentioned in this video are listed below:

1. Story by Robert McKee

2. The Hero with a 1000 Faces – Joseph Campbell

3. Save the Cat – Blake Snyder

4. Screenplay – Syd Field

5. Three Uses of the Knife – David Mamet

6. On Directing Film – David Mamet
