The screenwriter's pitch : the art and science of telling and selling stories

McMillan, S (2014) The screenwriter's pitch : the art and science of telling and selling stories. PhD thesis, Bath Spa University.

Abstract

This thesis asks three main questions: within the context of the UK film and television industry what is the relationship between the film pitch and the final script? What skills do screenwriters need to sell their work? And, does the culture of the industry in which screenplays are bought and sold influence their content and meaning? Based around the art and science of pitching, this thesis uses the author's own screenplay, 'Being Kennedy', as a case study.
