Sinopse

Script Editing Process explores the vital role of the script editor in transforming a raw screenplay or play script into a polished, production-ready piece. It emphasizes that effective script editing involves more than just fixing errors; it's a comprehensive process that can elevate the narrative and ensure the story deeply resonates with audiences. The book uniquely highlights the editor as a crucial collaborator, enhancing the writer's vision. Did you know that even some of the most successful films and plays have undergone extensive script editing to hone their impact? The book progresses methodically, beginning with the fundamental principles of script editing and the responsibilities of the editor. It then dissects three core elements: cut decisions, pacing adjustments, and textual clarification. For example, cutting unnecessary scenes can sharpen the focus of the narrative, while adjusting pacing can build suspense or enhance comedic timing. Through case studies, interviews, and textual analysis, the book provides a practical, hands-on approach to understanding and applying these essential editing skills. This resource provides aspiring script editors, screenwriters, playwrights, and students of performing arts with actionable advice and real-world examples. It demonstrates how careful attention to narrative structure, dialogue, and the overall editing process can significantly impact the success of any film or television project.

Season of the Witch - How the...

Peter Bebergal

This epic cultural and historical odyssey unearths the full influence of occult traditions on rock and roll—from the Beatles to Black Sabbath—and shows how the marriage between mysticism and music changed our world. 
 
 
 
From the hoodoo-inspired sounds of Elvis Presley to the Eastern odysseys of George Harrison, from the dark dalliances of Led Zeppelin to the Masonic imagery of today's hip-hop scene, the occult has long breathed life into rock and hip-hop—and, indeed, esoteric and supernatural traditions are a key ingredient behind the emergence and development of rock and roll. 
 
  
 
With vivid storytelling and laser-sharp analysis, writer and critic Peter Bebergal illuminates this web of influences to produce the definitive work on how the occult shaped—and saved—popular music. 
 
 
 
As Bebergal explains, occult and mystical ideals gave rock and roll its heart and purpose, making rock into more than just backbeat music, but into a cultural revolution of political, spiritual, sexual, and social liberation.

Nest City - How Citizens Serve...

Beth Sanders

Our linear ways of thinking about, organizing and planning our cities do not meet the true nature of cities as complex and messy systems. There are no simple solutions to the challenges we face: many citizens don't feel they belong; we don't agree on how to best move around; many don't have jobs or homes they can afford; we make running businesses hard work; we are facing challenges with the climate crisis and a pandemic. At a time when understanding the relationship between our physical, economic and social habitats is essential, Sanders sets forth an approach to work with the disruptions of our times. 
Drawing on her expertise as a city planner and a relationship-broker in the conflicts that surface in city life, Sanders offer strategies to explore how cities, public institutions, community organizations and the business community can work together to improve our cities. She explores the evolutionary nature of our relationship with cities, and how the tension we experience in city life compels each of us to work to improve and regenerate our cities. 
Nest City articulates the importance of having a sense of direction, being willing as citizens and cities to learn along the way, and accepting the uncertainty and messiness of cities as opportunities to make cities that serve cities well. Nest City will forever alter the way to look at your city, your local public institutions, community organizations or businesses--and how you think about and contribute to your city.
