"Kelly Goodner has created a one-of-a-kind resource that allows you to refresh yourself on classic films within a genre and compare them to each other in mere seconds. Whether you're seeking knowledge, solutions, or inspiration, you'll find it in Sceneclopedia ."
- Scott Rosenberg, screenwriter, Con Air, Venom, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle
Why didnt anyone think of this before? Sceneclopedia: Action/Adventure does a remarkable thing in bridging the gap between theory and practice by deconstructing great movies on multiple levels. Kelly Goodner here provides the circumspect eye of a Big Agency story analyst combined with the practicum of a working filmmaker. What results is a fascinating tool by which the reader can map the delicate balance of structure, character development, and theme, considering each as a component of the greater whole. This isnt a fill-in-the-blank screenwriting book its a deep dive consideration of the best of Hollywood filmmaking and the lessons a writer can apply to their own work.
- Dennis Bakriges, production executive,
Clash of the Titans
Sceneclopedia is an extraordinary resource for anyone who writes movies, writes about them, or just wants to understand what makes them work. Goodners structural breakdowns are clear, concise, and specific, and her analyses are original and surprisingly inspiring. No matter how familiar you are with the films under discussion, youll see new things in them after reading Goodners insightful commentary. More importantly, youll see how to apply their lessons to your own screenplays and movies. If theres one book that should be in every screenwriters library, this is it.
- Jim Hemphill, Filmmaker Magazine
Sceneclopedia is a great deep dive into the structure of the movies we all know and love, like Aliens and Conan the Barbarian . It's great to get wrapped up in the experience of movies, but this is a fantastic opportunity to look at the nuts and bolts of storytelling in a fun, unique way.
- Derek Scarzella, Actionagogo.com
A surprising, dedicated look at how some of our favorite action flicks tick. The detailed analysis and breakdowns help explain those pulse pounding moments we take for granted yet come back to time and again.
- Duvien Ho, Dammaged Goods
Endlessly fascinating and a virtual fun park for people interested in how stories work. Kelly Goodner's Sceneclopedia is the simplest, most direct and helpful guide to the craft of screenwriting I can imagine. Much more than that, though, it's a lot of fun. A totally fresh and exciting concept, I can't wait to see what genre she tackles next.
- David Birke, screenwriter, Elle
Kelly Goodner brings us a comprehensive scene by scene breakdown of some of the most iconic films ever made, along with excellent detailed analysis. This book is a true standout, and is without a doubt required reading for all movie lovers and film buffs!

SCENECLOPEDIA INTRODUCTION
*This same introduction is included in every Sceneclopedia book, because it applies to all of them regardless of genre.
Although it may be used primarily by screenwriters, this is not just a screenwriting book, but a filmmaking reference book. You may find some use for it that I never imagined. Whether you are an agent or manager, an executive, a professor, a director, editor, actor, critic, writer, or more, you will need to have an idea of story structure, plot, and pacing, and you will generally get your points across by referencing other films. This book lists every scene of twenty-five films within one genre, with the goal of serving as a quick overview of the variety of approaches that have succeeded before. You will see as many differences in the films as you will similarities, which ought to tamp down uninformed blanket statements about rules.
Whenever a film in any genre is made, the classics of that genre will almost always be referenced to see how it has been done successfully in the past. You will see repetitions in these lists, as some of these films have inspired each other. Many if not most classics are derived from other classics. There are certain films you will revisit hundreds of times. And I guarantee your memory and the memories of others about what happened in those films, particularly with regard to timing, will be wrong. But if you re-watch that film every single time you want to refresh your memory about one detail, you will never have time to make a film of your own. For that reason, I started writing them down. I became obsessive about making scene lists (by far my most productive procrastination tactic). By making a list of all the scenes in the film, in the future, I could get the information I needed from that films story and structure at a glance, and quickly get back to my own work.
This method of looking at films taught me screenwriting in a way that reading dozens of how-to books, film school, working as a script reader at the top agencies for nearly a decade, and watching thousands of films didnt. This method of looking at films immediately turned me from a story consultant/aspiring screenwriter to a professional, paid screenwriter with no supplementary day job.
To me, and maybe to you, just writing down lists of scenes seems too basic to be so much more useful than other tactics. But when I tell people I do this, theyre amazed. They find it unbelievable that anyone could write down all the scenes in even one film, let alone a hundred or more. In my experience, enormous amounts of work without a guaranteed pay-off is the defining characteristic of screenwriting. Its unavoidable that you will write thousands of pages of notes, if not actual script that never see the light of day (thankfully).
The moment you see one of your scripts produced, you will see why scene lists cause such a drastic improvement in your understanding. They work because the audience, as well as everyone who actually makes the film, thinks only in terms of scenes. Most of them know and care little of acts, plot, arcs, plot points, or theme. Aspiring screenwriters can drown in those complex elements, and sometimes neglect the simplicity of how many scenes there are and what happens in them. The number of scenes determines pacing and depth more scenes feels faster, fewer scenes feels slower. Both can be equally absorbing, but in different ways. But until you are working at the level of the scene, youre still only dealing in fuzzy, abstract synopsis and philosophy.
