Memo from the Story Department: Secrets of Structure and Character
This book is the result of years of work by Christopher Vogler and David McKenna. As professional experts, they analyzed a total of more than 40,000 scenarios of various genres. Vogler and McKenna see their joint work not just as a useful storytelling tool, they consider it a "savior" for both beginners and active writers. The book owes its name to the Memo manual, which was once written by Vogler to work in the screenwriting department and has become a legendary guide for many generations of screenwriters. But this is only one of the many methods of analysis and work on the structure of the narrative and characters described in the book - from the characters of Theophrastus and the morphology of a fairy tale by the Russian philologist Vladimir Propp to the author's methods of Vogler and McKenna themselves. The authors not only generously share their secrets and show how they are used using examples of successful films, but also give practical advice and specific tasks for future screenwriters and writers for independent work after each chapter.
