Re: How can screenwriters control pace? Any thoughts on unintentional slowness?
Screenwriting has dozens of principles, pillars of story telling if you will, it also has some familiar moments that are genre specific, like the couple meeting in Rom Coms, every genre has their recycled scenes they use.
Anyone who wants to write a book or create a paradigm for storytelling, all they have to do is pull some of these principles and familiar moments out of thin air and put some order to them.
I never read this Save The Cat book people talk about, when I did the bulk of my reading more than a decade ago, people were reading McKee, Egros, Field. I never heard of this book before. Is it kinda new?
