Full title :Writing and selling thriller screenplays. / Lucy V. Hay.

Summary

This book has the lowdown not only on getting your thriller feature script on the page, but getting it in front of producers and investors. From premise to resolution, Lucy V. Hay guides you through the craft of thriller writing, citing classic thrillers such as 'Psycho', 'The Shining', ' The Sixth Sense' and 'Fatal Attraction' and lesser-known gems like 'Red Eye', 'Desperate Measures', 'Impostor' and 'Deviation'. The book also considers how the screenplay might be sold to investors, looking at high concept ideas, pitching, packaging and the realities of film finance. Lucy V. Hay asks: what is flight vs. fight? What is the difference between horror and thriller? What are the different sub genres of thriller? What part do actors play in film finance? How can limited locations create new opportunities in storytelling and financing? Why is the lone protagonist so in demand? Why are female characters so popular in thriller?
