Some of ...I'm actually totally torn about contests. Some of the writers I blog with HATE THEM. I would just like to understand more what the readers are looking for:<BR/><BR/>Scene transitions<BR/>quotables<BR/>opportunities for actors to shine<BR/>"" "" directors to shine<BR/>page numbers<BR/><BR/><BR/>or heaven forbid, the "Guru" stuff. I mean I'm the first person to ask for and accept "criticism" but many people are too subjective for such an objective task.<BR/>Personal opinion has nothing to do with script analysis. By that I'm referring to the ubiquitous "he should have" or "why didn't you."<BR/><BR/>It works if there's a plausible reason but too many times there is no justification, just statements.<BR/><BR/>I'm also always reminded of yoru story about the script that the producers wanted changed A LOT OF TIMES.<BR/>The problem will come in when the producer says X and X was in it before someone said you should take it out. I of course respect anyone whose opinion I ask for but in the end I feel like I can be the only person in the world who enjoys the "movie(I don't write scripts anymore)."<BR/>OK, maybe the target group should like it and without the producer\MONEY you won't make a movie, but anyone who does coverage should use an exact template for EVERY script.<BR/><BR/>I guess the issue with that is whether we should list things that audiences want or what readers want or what execs want.<BR/><BR/>I personally go for what the audience wants which I can know. I can't really know what "analysts" want until after I get coverage.<BR/>Then I have to decide fi I should write a movie that appeals to those things(I would never hack my movie up) or look for an analyst that is looking for what I am.<BR/><BR/>It's tough indeed but worth it as writing is the revealing of the soul.Christian H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16847810167041864292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-923058597085374242009-04-08T07:32:00.000-07:002009-04-08T07:32:00.000-07:00@DS - yes.
