I've found it has helped me a great deal in understanding it properly. I didn't read three chapters including: Screenplay Form, On Collaboration and After It's Written, because they're not relevant to what I'm doing. The chapters on character etc are good too. As other reviewers have stated, it is repetitive but I found this helpful for me. I'm not slow or anything but when I'm learning something new, sometimes I need to read the same information many times for it to sink in. This books really helps if you're OK with that. I'm combining this book with Plot and Structure by James Scott Bell to give me a thorough understanding of the three act structure. There are sections of screenplays throughout the book, I found this helpful, even though it's novels that I'm concentrating on. And I understand that I need to adapt some of his advice, for it to fit working on novels. Overall, a good book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting - Save The Cat!
