Point of View or Autobiography??

One should also know that this workshop is geared towards screenwriters, not novelists. So if you are a novelist, run far, run far away? What makes a good screenplay, you might be asking yourself? According to Madeline, lots of white space, lots and lots of white space ? in other words, not a lot of dialogue. Later she contradicts herself by reaching out to novelists and encouraging them to study screenplay writing so that they can learn to write what? Yep ? good dialogue, which as it turns out, is pretty important after all.
The workshop starts off very seriously, like a class on writing; she lists off various categories of points of view in her wonderfully confident manner. It?s exciting, but it?s all smoke and mirrors. For a moment, one almost feels the need to take notes, but then the ?lesson? quickly dissolves into the usual pep talk stuff found on most of these recordings. She tells you her personal success story, laden with downfalls and little lucky breaks; we find out about her experience writing Kojak episodes and Rhoda; the audience laughs appreciatively, she takes questions, she encourages, ho hum. Because it?s all delivered well, it?s fun to listen to, but it?s not much more than that. It's certainly not going to teach you very much about writing. Two stars.
Screenplay advice from a sitcom writer

The woman attempts to explain the meaning of point of view as the everyday use of the term with barely a tangential connection to writing.
And that's about as far as she gets. The content doesn't approach junior high school quality on the subject.
The only reason I can think of for it even being recorded is that the presenter seems to be full of herself and probably said, Why not. Somebody might buy it. Evidently, two fools met.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
Definitely not writers. Lets get things straight here. When we are talking about a point of view we are not talking about the camera's POV or what the actors are seeing we are talking about which character in the film the author decided to TELL his story. Period., We are 30 min into the book and she is still trying to impress us with her pseudo - analysis of some mediocre films. The best Analysis of Point of View, I ever heard was from one of my professors at Columbia Film School in the 80's Frank Daniel ( AFI USC ) He developed what they call today the sequence approach or the mini movie method.Would you ever listen to anything by Madeline DiMaggio again?
NOHow could the performance have been better?
If it was better written - reedited and rehearsed and Re- edited again. Live lectures should not be re-sold to the public they were already sold once. They should be revised and re-edited carefully.Any additional comments?
It would be Fair if we could read or listen the first chapter of the book before we buy it,NO POINT OF VIEW
