Your script-analysis will consist of a sequence-by-sequence script breakdown of what works, what doesn’t, and most importantly, why. Focusing on:
* The plot and story. How it develops. Is every event necessary? Does it make sense? Is it interesting? Does the reader want to know what happens next? Are important plot points met? How can they be improved?
* Your characters. Are they engaging? Do they go on a journey? Can we feel their arc? Do character relationships progress through the script? Do you have all the characters you need?
* Dialogue. Is it serving your story, your characters? Does each character have a unique voice? When they speak are they moving the story forward?
* A Suggestions & Ideas section will follow giving you the added benefit of a script doctor, handing you the tools you need to fix what isn’t working.
Having what works and what doesn’t work, in a sequence-by-sequence breakdown, makes the rewriting process much easier. And since writing is really rewriting, knowing the elements you need to attack and specifically where, will help you get the most out of your effort. Applying our script-analysis to your script will make your screenplay or TV show a more marketable property, and make you a more marketable writer. Reaching your unique voice is what will separate you from everybody else, and that’s what we hope you achieve. We look forward to reading your scripts.
* A screenplay is usually made up of twelve sequences that are about ten pages each. The numbers may vary slightly and are scaled down for an hour or half-hour show.
