Dan O'Bannon's Guide to Screenplay Structure: Inside Tips from the Writer of ALIEN, TOTAL RECALL and RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD

Dan Oâ€™Bannon famously crafted his screenplays using a self-designed system which he called â€œdynamic structure.â€ This book outlines how Oâ€™Bannonâ€™s method differs from those of other well-known screenwriting gurus, and illustrates with examples from classic (and not-so-classic) films how dynamic structure can be applied to craft narrative and character. Oâ€™Bannon also includes his insights on subjects such as the logic of the three-act structure, the role of the producer in screenplay development, and the psychological principle known as â€œhedonic adaptation,â€ which has a unique effect on the structuring of screen stories.
