Eugene Vale (11 April 1916 – 2 May 1997) was a best-selling American novelist. He was also a screenwriter, a playwright, and the author of an influential volume on screenwriting, titled "The Technique of Screen & Television Writing". In this book Vale provided many rules for writing screenplays to include the admonition that the "primary purpose of every film scene is to transition into the future" - Start with a goal in the future, then you need a motivation for a future event, then you create an intention on the part of the actor or actors: throughout the script one must create smaller intentions drawing the viewer closer to the main intention. Writing novels Mr. Vale thought emotions where the main event - whether it be fear, laughter, compassion, hatred or empathy. This the arbiter against which every scene must be judged. !
