Abstract:
In spite of the wealth of screenwriting manuals and guidebooks on how to write a screenplay, there are, nevertheless, few critical academic studies on dramaturgical techniques from the screenwriter’s perspective. This thesis, building on the tradition of drama theories, expands and deepens understanding of the contribution and function of the screenplay within the film-making process, generates new knowledge of dramatic writing for film practitioners, and provides a reflection on contemporary dramaturgical strategies, methods and techniques in film-making.
