Klappentext The Bloomsbury Handbook of Global Screenplay Theory offers a comprehensive introduction and overview of screenplay theory as applied in the analysis of numerous screenplays from an international, multi-author perspective, including both leading and emerging scholars in the field. Each section includes 3-4 case studies of theory applied in the analysis of a landmark screenplay. The sections are divided thematically, ranging from the screenplay as narrative form to sound and music in the screenplay. With both theorists and practitioners contributing to this volume, the focus is on the actual screenplay as opposed to analysis of the final film. Examining films like The Lion King and Slumdog Millionaire , the essays contribute to a new era in screenplay theory - providing valuable insights not only into the particular screenplays under analysis but also into the range of ways in which such analysis can be approached, representing a wide range of theoretical perspectives.
