Journal of Screenwriting (Volume 10, Number 3)
Bristol: intellect. Publishers of Original Thinking 2019
The Journal of Screenwriting aims to explore the nature of writing for the moving image in the broadest sense, highlighting current academic thinking around scriptwriting whilst also reflecting on this with a truly international perspective and outlook. The journal will encourage the investigation of a broad range of possible methodologies and approaches to studying the scriptwriting form, in particular: the history of the form, contextual analysis, the process of writing for the moving image, the relationship of scriptwriting to the production process and how the form can be considered in terms of culture and society. The journal also aims to encourage research in the field of screenwriting, the linking of scriptwriting practice to academic theory, and to support and promote conferences and networking events on this subject.
A special issue of the Journal of Screenwriting on the historiography of screenwriting edited by Claus Tieber and Steven Price (Bangor University) is now available. The issue includes Early German and Czech screenwriting, the famous Caligari script, musical devices in screenplays, race relations in the 1960s TV scripts, Pasolini working on screenplays for Fellini, and much more.
