- Book 1 of 3: With The Story-Type Method
Most screenwriting books hand you a formula and tell you to follow it regardless of what you're writing. Screenwriting Unchained does the opposite.
In this groundbreaking first volume of the Story-Type Method® series, Emmanuel Oberg identifies three main story-types — plot-led, character-led, theme-led — and shows how each demands a different structural approach. The result is a flexible, powerful framework that works for any screenplay, from independent crossover to studio blockbuster, for anyone involved in the Film and TV industry: writers, directors, producers, development execs and showrunners.
- Identify your story-type and solve most structural problems from the outset
- Replace rigid, page-number-based structure with a flexible dramatic three-act approach that fits your story
- Use dramatic irony, surprise, mystery and suspense to keep audiences genuinely engaged
- Deepen what's at stake with a fresh take on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
- Use the fractal aspect of structure to design not just the whole story but every part of it — and banish the sagging middle for good
- Approach any rewrite creatively and efficiently with The Rewrite Stuff: 12 Ways to a Stronger Screenplay
"Without question the most useful book in the marketplace on the writing and development process."
— Dan MacRae, Head of UK Development, StudioCanal
"The lightsabre of screenwriting books: the Story-Type Method cuts through to the essence and guides you when you are lost."
— Matthias Hoene, Writer/Director (Cockneys vs Zombies, Warrior's Gate)
