Memo From the Story Department offers a battery of story-generating engines and story-improving tools, and reliable methods tested on hundreds of Hollywood productions. It goes far beyond the standard advice given in most screenwriting manuals. Drawn from sources as varied as vaudeville, classical Greek comedies, and Russian fairy tales, the book outlines a series of practical templates for creating believable characters and emotionally satisfying plots. • It will take writers to the next step, even beyond the breakthrough work of Vogler in The Writer's Journey. • Builds on the legend about Vogler's first book which began as a memo he wrote while working in the Story Department of Walt Disney Studios. That memo caused a revolution in studio thinking and now here's the next installment from the manwho literally wrote the book on mythic story structure. • The authors are working story developers, employed by major studios and top directors and hugely influential in their industry. Vogler has worked with Will Smith and Darren Aronofsky on recent projects and McKenna has influenced a generation of top film writers including Mark Fergus, co-writer of Iron Man. • Memo From the Story Department makes story and character development accessible with clear explanations that break down the processes into manageable steps, like McKenna's six-part regimen for analysing a character's environment, or Vogler's twelve stages of mythic structure and eight archetypes of character. • Draws inspiration from unexpected sources and provides fresh approaches for story development. It offers a lot of variety, inviting writers to look at their work through many useful lenses.

Memo from the Story Department

The Writers Journey

Originally an influential memo Vogler wrote for Walt Disney Animation executives regarding The Lion King, The Writer's Journey details a twelve-stage, myth-inspired method that has galvanized Hollywood's treatment of cinematic storytelling. A format that once seldom deviated beyond a traditional three-act blueprint, Vogler's comprehensive theory of story structure and character development has met with universal acclaim, and is detailed herein using examples from myths, fairy tales, and classic movies. This book has changed the face of screenwriting worldwide over the last 25 years, and continues to do so.

Yazarın yolculuğu

Em 1949, no clássico O herói de mil faces, o estudioso Joseph Campbell conceituou a chamada Jornada do Herói: uma estrutura presente nos mitos e replicada em todas as boas histórias já contadas e recontadas pela humanidade. Em A Jornada do Escritor, Christopher Vogler faz uma detalhada e esclarecedora análise desse conceito, tomando como base diversos filmes importantes. Resultado de anos de estudo sobre mitos e arquétipos, somados à experiência de Vogler na indústria cinematográfica norte-americana, esta edição, revisada pelo autor, é uma obra de referência fundamental não apenas para quem deseja escrever boas histórias – bebendo da fonte dos mais belos e fascinantes mitos já criados pela mente humana –, como para quem quer entendê-las melhor, relacionando-as à própria vida.

Mythologische Grundmuster für Schriftsteller

Die Odyssee der Drehbuchschreiber, Romanautoren und Dramatiker

Wieder da: Die "perfekte Anleitung" für erfolgreiche Drehbücher. Die Odyssee des Drehbuchschreibers. Von Christopher Vogler. Vogler, jahrzehntelang Berater der großen Hollywood-Studios, entdeckte, dass fast allen großen Publikumserfolgen eine archetypische Struktur zugrunde liegt, die seit dem Anfang der Welt die erfolgreichsten Märchen und Mythen bestimmt: die Heldenreise. Voglers Folgerung: Wenn wir alle immer wieder eine Geschichte in immer neuen Varianten erleben wollen, dann liegt das daran, dass wir in ihr Archetypen wiederfinden, an denen wir alle teilhaben. Wenn Publikumserfolge seit Homers Odyssee nach ähnlichem Muster gestrickt sind, dann ist man gut beraten, den Faden weiterzuspinnen. Jeff Arch, Drehbuchautor von "Schlaflos in Seattle": Das Buch ist "die perfekte Anleitung für Filmstories mit dermaßen universell-menschlichen Inhalten, dass sie einfach überall in der Welt ihr Publikum in den Bann schlagen müssen."
