Review: An excellent book about screenwriting - Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting is an excellent book from screenwriting guru Syd Field who wrote several books on the subject of screenwriting. He also conducted workshops and seminars on the subject of producing salable screenplays. Hollywood film producers have increasingly used his ideas on structure as a guideline to a proposed screenplay's potential. Although this book gives tips on writing scripts for films, I believe it also serves as a good book for people wanting to write scripts for television as well as for film. An example of tips given in this book includes writing cue cards for his paradigm "Three act structure" (Act I, Act II and Act III) and how many cue cards to write for each act of your film and/or TV drama (whether the TV drama be a one-off or a series). I very highly recommend this book because it can help people with how to write a good screenplay, whether it be for film or television. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | 0385339038 | | Best Sellers Rank | 97,102 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 6 in Film Screenwriting | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (3,531) | | Dimensions | 13.2 x 1.8 x 20.9 cm | | Edition | Revised ed. | | ISBN-10 | 9780385339032 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0385339032 | | Item weight | 238 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | 29 Nov. 2005 | | Publisher | Random House Publishing Group | ## Images ![Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7126NhZpkgL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE THIS BOOK! *by I***Y on 2 August 2025* So useful to read and also to go back to it whenever im stuck or need a little guidance. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent book about screenwriting *by M***T on 10 May 2014* Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting is an excellent book from screenwriting guru Syd Field who wrote several books on the subject of screenwriting. He also conducted workshops and seminars on the subject of producing salable screenplays. Hollywood film producers have increasingly used his ideas on structure as a guideline to a proposed screenplay's potential.

I very highly recommend this book because it can help people with how to write a good screenplay, whether it be for film or television. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by S***D on 4 July 2013* This is perhaps my favourite book on screen writing. Why? Because it's so fluently written that it's enjoyable for its enthusiasm, clarity and fluency. It is not a listings formula, being written in solid chapters, but the information it provides is excellent. I prefer it to the slick 'Save the Cat' series, which is okay in its way, but perhaps a bit TOO formulaic. Sid field was the first in the field and in my opinion the best, the most readable and the most clear. Recommended. ## Frequently Bought Together - Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting - Save The Cat!
