Abstract:

CHUTZPAH is a romantic movie set in Manhattan. The events surrounding the death of a wealthy eccentric cumulate into a farcical search for the old man's fortune when it is stolen shortly after his funeral. Ellen, the protagonist, hires a detective to find out who stole her grandfather's money (a substantial sum of which was willed to her). As Mark, the detective, works on the case, a relationship between him and Ellen develops, and the search for the money becomes secondary. Ellen's charm and her relationship with her zany Yiddish relatives endear her to Mark while they together find chutzpah

This creative project and essay for a Masters degree in Media Theory and Practice is focused around the design of a South African TV series called 'Schedule 7' which is set in Cape Town's south peninsula in a (fictional) non-governmental, psychiatric clinic. The premise is that a troubled handful of patients' perspectives on life change after they encounter what they believe to be God's salvation when they accidentally almost burn themselves to death. The format follows their endeavours to follow and serve God, who they term 'GOGO' (God of Goodness Only), with mixed results. The format is an h

After several years of trauma caused by losing her mother in a boarding house fire, she discovers that arson was involved and investigates, seeking justice. When she mediates with her mother's killer, she effects an emotional substitution. They fall in love and she persuades him to help her convict the main culprit. Even before the trial fails, she begins to reject him, psychologically completing the process of her own separation and individuation. Once Liz has this stronger sense of self, she

Abstract:

This thesis in Creative Writing consists of an original feature-length screenplay and an essay examining the function of setting within the screenwriting discourse. The screenplay, titled 'Cooper Street', is set in future Perth where rumors of an alien presence threaten to disrupt the state's lucrative mining industry. Setting plays a key role within 'Cooper Street'. Scenes are set across giant sweeps of desert, inside sea containers converted to inner-city housing, and within raging sporting crowds to create a believable projection of life in future Western Australia.

Abstract:

This thesis examines the narration in screenplay texts. The aim is to explore how the screenwriter, through the screenplay text, communicates the potential film to the reader. The thesis thus situates the screenplay in a communicational context, and argues that the screenplay text is a means of communication. In many cases, the screenplay text is the writer's only means of communicating with a potential investor, thus determining whether the screenplay will fulfil its purpose of becoming a film. Using a communicational approach enables a close examination of the different extratextual and intr

Men Who March Away is a story about men and war, an ancient narrative recipe. In particular, two men who share some traits in common with their fellows but in other respects are unique. King and country mean little or nothing to them. They don’t fight in defence of the hearth-fire as popular myth would have us believe. The First World War just coincided with the prime years of their life and appeared to them as a refuge from the torments in their personal lives.

In this thesis I examine the relationship between a screenplay and the films made from it. I test the hypothesis that a film based on an original (not adapted from an existing text) screenplay is an adaptation of this screenplay. In order to investigate the potential range of adaptations that occur during the process of film production, I commissioned a short screenplay which was made into a film five times, by five different production teams, each entirely independent of one another. Utilising these films as my primary set of data, I engage in comparative analysis of the screenplay to the fiv

The aim of this thesis is to make practical use of film narrative studies and script writing theory in order to research a method of constructing my own film screenplay. This thesis is divided into two major sections, the Process (Section I) and the Product (Section II) . The Process examines historical models of narrative, identifying characteristics of the western narrative construct, and how they relate to film storytelling and contemporary screenwriting. The theoretical underpinnings draw upon the branch of film theory known as narratology. The work undertaken in this section is

This PhD consists of three screenplays adapted from my novels and an exegesis which explores the involvement and influences producers have had on the eventual screenplay outcomes. In developing a first draft of original screenplays writers often work alone and without critical feedback, development assistance or encouragement from third parties. The writing process can continue in this way for some time, through many drafts, until the writer either abandons the project or finds some development assistance either from government film support agencies, producers, or both.

This screenplay dramatizes the controversial career of German film maker Leni Riefenstahl during ten years of her association with the Nazi Party. Beginning with the premiere of her first film in 1932, this account chronicles her rise as a film director of such films as Triumph of the Will and Olympia to her arrest after World War II on charges that she had been a Nazi sympathizer.

Party Season is about sex and speech and employs some of the conventions of the porn film. Apparently inconsequential 'filler' scenes and dialogue link the pay-off scenes of vividly depicted sex.
