Mythic structure for storytellers and screenwriters.
This classic film writing analysis book began life as a memo to Hollywood studios: it is now industry-wide required reading.
Christopher Vogler analyses film as storytelling, and looks at how the greatest movies of all time have all used the principles of myth, at the core of all our imaginations, to create masterful stories which are dramatic, entertaining and psychologically true.
It looks at not only how master storytellers from Hitchcock to Lucas, Spielberg and Tarantino have used mythic structure to create powerful stores, but it also outlines step-by-step guidelines for effective plot structure and characterization in your own writing. It also includes analyses of the smash hits Titanic, The Full Monty and The Lion King, as well as Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz and Pulp Fiction, as well as evaluations of over 10,000 screenplays.
Commended for the Kraszna-Kraus Book Award.
