Hollywood's script guru teaches you how to write a screenplay in "the 'bible' of screenwriting" (The New York Times)--now celebrating forty years of screenwriting success

Syd Field's books on the essential structure of emotionally satisfying screenplays have ignited lucrative careers in film and television since 1979. In this revised edition of his premiere guide, the underpinnings of successful onscreen narratives are revealed in clear and encouraging language that will remain wise and practical as long as audiences watch stories unfold visually--from hand-held devices to IMAX to virtual reality . . . and whatever comes next.

As the first person to articulate common structural elements unique to successful movies, celebrated producer, lecturer, teacher and bestselling author Syd Field has gifted us a classic text. From concept to character, from opening scene to finished script, here are fundamental guidelines to help all screenwriters--novices and Oscar-winners--hone their craft and sell their work.

In Screenplay, Syd Field can help you discover:
- Why the first ten pages of every script are crucial to keeping professional readers' interest
- How to visually "grab" these influential readers from page one, word one
- Why structure and character are the basic components of all narrative screenplays
- How to adapt a novel, a play, or an article into a saleable script
- Tips on protecting your work--three ways to establish legal ownership of screenplays
- Vital insights on writing authentic dialogue, crafting memorable characters, building strong yet flexible storylines (form, not formula), overcoming writer's block, and much more

Syd Field is revered as the original master of screenplay story structure, and this guide continues to be the industry's gold standard for learning the foundations of screenwriting.

Disliked at first, ended up LOVING!
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
UPDATE: I actually ended up loving this product once I started treating it as a first layer serum. I use a very small amount, let it soak in for a minute or two, and then layer a body lotion over it. Using it that way gives me the softest skim (even on rough dry areas like elbows) and it totally takes away any sticky/tacky feeling! I don’t quite know how to feel about this product. It is hands down one of the most hydrating body lotions around and immediately after application skin does feel silky and smooth. It causes no irritation and has almost no scent. However the longer it is on the more tacky and sticky it gets- even dabbing extra off with a towel does not help. It is particularly bad on the hands, I literally could not stand it because it felt like I had partially dried glue all over my hands. Strangely the one place this lotion works on is my feet and it really helps with any dryness (I’m an avid walker and hiker so my feet get dry). I would not purchase again because I can’t use it anywhere else. I wish it stayed feeling like it does immediately after application because I bet it would help skin look and feel smoother with continued use, but unless the formula changes to something that isn’t tacky and sticky it is basically worthless. Unless you want to purchase as a foot cream!

Final Vote if Still Out
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This cream is definitely giving the hydration. There is hardly any scent to it, which I like so that I don't feel like it's completing with other products. My skin is feeling softer and has more of a glow versus being dry. The only negative thing so far is that I feel it is a bit sticky. I am going to keep using and be consistent with it to see what the longer term benefits are.

Dove never fails us, ladies! Solid lotion for all over.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
They can pump out all the fancy moisturizers and lotions they want - I always come back to the originals. Dove has a brand reputation which never fails. This cream serum is awesome for all over my body after a hot shower (bc it kinda dries out my skin). Face and body, it works. Apply after shower before bed and you have a whole skincare routine. Cannot beat the price for less than $10!

It's a great deep conditioning lotion
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This is above and beyond your usual body Moisturizer! Very hydrating, I haven't experienced any sticky residue. It absorbs quickly, I put it on just after a shower to hold in moisture. Accidentally discovered while using a lotion applicator for my back that it also gives your hair a great deep conditioning! I didn't have any residue in my hair either.
