Killing for beginners

Product details

For the first time, novelist and screenwriter Ahmed Mourad writes about the behind-the-scenes of writing; how he started, and how he developed his approach over the years during which he published seven novels and five films; one of which, "The Blue Elephant 2," became the first film to exceed the two hundred million pound mark in profits.

This book is a true roadmap, helping those interested in reading to unleash their imagination and complete their novel or film project in practical ways based on modern dramatic equations and curves that organize the flow of their ideas and help them get rid of writer's block.

A map that guides them throughout the writing journey, including the “obsession with a dominant idea”, the escalating construction of events, the creation of a coherent plot, the craftsmanship of character creation, the writing of scenes in a dramatic and impactful way, and with a simulation that takes into account the behavior of the recipient and keeps pace with the development represented in the world of digital platforms.

This book includes the screenplay for the film “The Blue Elephant 2” for practical application, and to understand the role and responsibility of writing in creating a film that is difficult to forget.
