Being a world-famous writer of stage, screen, and craigslist, people often come to me for help with their writing projects, or just to ask for my critique of whatever sorts of movies have come out recently. A lot of times, they want me to give them the secret of my success. Well obviously not everyone can hope to achieve the same level of noteworthiness as I have, but as a starting off point, I have put together a brief analysis of some popular screenwriting styles that you can compare and contrast. What you do with that knowledge afterwards is up to you, I just ask that you thank me in the credits when you sell your first million-dollar script.
