In the USA, Snyder is considered one of the most successful Hollywood screenwriters who write so-called “spec scripts”. This term means "a free script intended by the author for sale on the cinematographic market." (As opposed to a script created at the request of a producer). Several years ago, deciding to share his accumulated experience with aspiring screenwriters, Snyder wrote the textbook "Save The Cat! The Last Book on Screenwriting You'll Ever Need" ("Save the Cat! The Last Book about screenwriting, which you will need to read"). The term "Save the Cat", included in the title, was coined by Blake to describe the scenes when the author introduces the reader to the main character. In order for the reader to sympathize with a character, the latter must perform a respectable action or a worthy deed. (For example, remove a kitten from the roof of a high-rise building). In addition to the new terminology, Snyder developed the author's script structure, the Blake Snyder Beat Sheet or "BS2". He also originally classified popular Hollywood films into new genres invented by Snyder. For example, his films "Die Hard" and "Terminator" belong not to action films, but to the genre "Dude with a problem". In the second book in the series "Save the Cat!" ! Goes to the Movies: The Screenwriter's Guide to Every Story Ever Told" the screenwriter describes these genres in detail, at the same time laying out the plots of popular American films according to the original BS2 script structure. This translation was made at the Bazelevs film studio for internal use.
