內容簡介：
　　本書從零開始，講述了基本概念和系統的方法學，包括在銀幕上充分發揮劇本最大戲劇潛力的系統方法學，以及明晰的把劇本轉化為電影的方法學，其視角在導演書籍中獨樹一幟。在劇本藍圖的基礎上，本書引導讀者使用具體技巧來分析劇本中的元素，並把這些元素轉化成視覺故事。書中包含了闡明這些技巧所需的劇本實例。
　　本書對三部故事片進行了深入分析，讓讀者有機會看到並明白如何在自己的作品中使用戲劇性元素。同時本書引領我們幾乎一個鏡頭一個鏡頭地研究希區柯克的《美人計》、費裡尼的《八又二分之一》和彼得·威爾的《楚門的世界》中的戲劇結構和敘事者聲音，並分析了其他11部故事片的風格和戲劇結構。
作者簡介：
　　本書作者Nicholas T. Proferes是哥倫比亞大學藝術學院電影專業的教授，執教超過25年。他在電影領域的專業涉及面非常廣，曾在紀錄片和故事片中擔任導演、攝影師、剪輯師、制片人等職務。通過多年的教學與研究，他提出了通過戲劇單元、敘事節拍(導演節拍)和戲劇性場面環繞的支點來組織動作的電影導演方法，著眼於首先明確故事(劇本檢查工作)，然後幫助導演編排故事前進及戲劇發展來訓練導演在情緒上吸引觀眾的能力。
