Journal of Screenwriting 2.1
Intellect is pleased to announce the publication
of the first issue of the second volume of the Journal of Screenwriting
This issue includes an examination of how the
BBC rivalled ITV and Channel 4 in the 1970s and
80s through its competitive approach to comedy
writers and writing. Other articles examine the
screenplay as a literary artwork; study the
relationship between the history of popular
Hindi cinema and the writing of the screenplay;
and analyse the importance of screenwriting in
understanding institutional, sociological and
nation-specific dimensions in English-Canadian
films. Also included are a study of the
differing approaches of contemporary screenplay
manuals to defining the three-quarter point in a
story; an examination of how Hollywood studios
micromanage the creative process, and whether
this hinders the quality of contemporary films;
an interview with Christopher Vogler about his
writing career in Hollywood; and a report from
the Society of Cinema and Media Studies conference in LA.
