Murder for beginners

For the first time, novelist and screenwriter Ahmed Murad writes about behind the scenes of writing; How did he start, and how did he develop his approach over the years, during which he released seven novels and five films; One of them, “The Blue Elephant 2,” became the first film whose profits exceeded the two hundred million mark.

This book is a real road map that helps those interested in reading unleash their imagination and finish their fictional or cinematic project in practical ways based on modern dramatic equations and curves that organize the flow of their ideas and help them get rid of the creative blockage (Writer's Block).

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

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