With this book, author Christina Hamlett has found a way to reveal the basic principles of screenwriting as a series of short, easy-to-reference concepts. The beginning filmmaker can use the 100 concepts that make up this book as the literary basis for creating a successful YouTube video or short film. In addition, these concepts lay the groundwork for a more in-depth study for the aspiring screenwriter. The author tested her material on Nick Morgan, a teen screenwriter, and credits him with helping her create an approach that appeals to teens.
