Dan O'Bannon famously crafted his screenplays using a self-designed system which he called "dynamic structure." This book outlines how O'Bannon's method differs from those of other well-known screenwriting gurus, and illustrates with examples from classic (and not-so-classic) films how dynamic structure can be applied to craft narrative and character. O'Bannon also includes his insights on subjects such as the logic of the three-act structure, the role of the producer in screenplay development, and the psychological principle known as "hedonic adaptation," which has a unique effect on the structuring of screen stories.

What you get here is not so much anything "new" (as if you could expect that with storytelling anyway), but rather O'Bannon's own formulation of the traditional three-act dramatic narrative. As is often the case when an insightful practitioner recasts "standard wisdom" with a pragmatic bent, there are plenty of gems to be found that help to clarify and lock into place many time-tested bits of orthodoxy.
The book itself is written in a way that doesn't take itself too seriously, but at the same time conveys interesting lessons (complete with do-it-yourself exercises) and practical how-to advice on constructing a gripping story. Recommended if you're interested in screenwriting or storytelling. ( )
