Abstract:
This critical appraisal is based on an overview of my published research on the subject of the screenplay between 2007 and 2014 when my most recent monograph, The Screenplay in British Cinema (BFI, 2014) was produced. The aim of my research has been twofold: to bring to academic attention the depth and breadth of screenplay writing as a written form, particularly within British Cinema, and to argue that the screenplay can be studied as a literary text.

Abstract:
This PhD investigates the writing of a feature film screenplay for mainstream Japanese-language cinema by a British screenwriter. As a long-term resident of Japan with production credits in Japanese cinema, I have for many years been interested in how to write stories set in Japan that will appeal to domestic and international audiences. The study examines the challenges I face as a Western screenwriter writing a screenplay for Japanese cinema, and how those challenges inform my creative practice, bringing into being a screenplay that is intended to enhance screenwriting craft in mainstream Ja

This practice-led PhD project consists of two sections: the first examines a breakdown of the components of film genre to be used as practical guideposts for my own creative practice as a screenwriter and (hopefully in the future) for other screenwriters; the second section contains my practical application – first acts of three screenplays that are constructed utilizing my research and subsequent assessments. Using a theoretic construct presented in the area of philosophy in the 1990s by cognitive theorist Gilles Fauconnier called ‘mental space’, a concept exploring a person’s natural inclina

Abstract:
This project explores issues confronted when authoring a previously authored story, one received from history. Using the defection of Soviet spies, Vladimir and Evdokia Petrov as its focal point, it details how a screenwriter addresses issues arising in the adaptation of both fictional and biographical representations suitable for contemporary cinema. Textual fidelity and concepts of interpretation, aesthetics and audience, negotiating factual and fictional imperatives, authorial visibility and invisibility, moral and ethical conundrums are negotiated and a set of guiding principles emerge fr

This practice-led thesis, with its accompanying artefact, a documentary film, explore the issues that confront the Black African film-maker.

Abstract:
This exegesis explores the challenges I have faced as an emerging Australian storyteller attempting to write myths for domestic and international television audiences. The exegesis focuses specifically on four creative modalities that I have either developed or adopted in order to gain a better understanding of myth’s foundations, the archetypes. These modalities are: meditation, hypnagogic immersion, archetypal dream work and active imagination. The exegesis considers the hypothesis that an emerging screenwriter can gain a more instinctual and intimate understanding of myth from a ‘direct’ di

Abstract:
The screenplay is a text in transit. Evolving between two forms, it is most of the times written to be lost once the movie is finished, after a long process of rewriting and anticipating the filmic texture. From these observations, the present dissertation aims to highlight the potentiality of screenwriting right from its in-between position, from its particular interzones. Taking into account this multiplicity, this research explores the different perspectives surrounding the subject through a trans-disciplinary approach.

The aim of the present study was to investigate how the impermanence of contract work affects working lives, self-perceptions and the career strategies of Swedish screenwriters of finding and keeping work.

Introducing the concept of “career authoring” to cover different aspects of the professional lives of screenwriters such as managing a career, establishing authorship and contractual negotiations, the study was able to embrace various mind-sets and strategies for care

Abstract:
When screenwriter and doctoral candidate, Anthony Mullins, first started studying Konstantin Stanislavsky’s ‘system’ of performance and script analysis, he hoped the well-known acting technique would be a useful tool for screenwriters. Mullins assumed that because Stanislavsky’s technique analysed all the characters of a story (not just the protagonist) it would naturally be a more detailed approach than conventional techniques like the ‘three-act structure’. It also appeared that Stanislavsky’s ‘system’ had the added advantage of being familiar to actors, the very people who would eventually

Abstract:
Movie innovation is a conversation between screenwriters and producers in our mixed economy – a concept of innovation supported by Richard Rorty and Aristole's Poetics. During innovation conversations, inspired writers describe fresh movie actions to empathetic producers. Some inspired actions may confuse. Writers and producers use strategies to inquire about confusing actions. This Australian study redescribes 25 writer-producer strategies in the one place for the first time. It adds a new strategy.

Abstract:
This thesis asks three main questions: within the context of the UK film and television industry what is the relationship between the film pitch and the final script? What skills do screenwriters need to sell their work? And, does the culture of the industry in which screenplays are bought and sold influence their content and meaning? Based around the art and science of pitching, this thesis uses the author's own screenplay, 'Being Kennedy', as a case study.

Abstract:
David Mamet is best known as a playwright, but he also has a thriving film career, both as screenwriter and as director. He has taken very seriously each of these roles, formulating theories that, he suggests, account for the creative choices he makes. Though Mamet sometimes contradicts himself, as when he suggests that viewers should have the satisfaction of constructing their own meaning of a work, but at the same time is devoted to montage, which works by juxtaposing images that lead to a single interpretation, he clearly sees the story as a critical avenue into the spectator's unconscious,
