Psychology for scriptwriters: building a conflict in the plot. 4th edition. (cover). Indica W.

Work on the script, like any creativity, for the most part occurs by aatousness, and many professionals of cinema believe that artistic freedom and analysis are incompatible. William Indik categorically disagrees with this. Analyzing the theories of psychoanalysis - from Sigmund Freud and Eric Erickson to Morin Murdok and Rollo May, the author reinforces the concept of famous scientists with examples from famous films with their eternal topics: love and sex, death and destruction, fear and anger, revenge and hatred. Considering the motives, underlying desires, complexes driving heroes, Indic evaluates the victories and miscalculations of the authors, which ultimately cannot be hidden from the viewer. After all, the viewer empathizes with the hero, identifies himself with him, passes the path of transformation with him and reaches catharsis.

Valuable practical guide for filmmakers - scriptwriters, directors, students, film critics. An exciting reading for all films of cinema and those who are interested in psychology.
