Continued - Scripts

Points to consider from the reader's perspective.

Have a three-act structure: Where does the setup, development and resolution start and end?

The Opening: Does the script start with a visual image?

The First 10 Pages: Do you introduce the major storytelling points within the first 10 pages?

Plot: List the times when the story through a character's decision or revelation takes a twist.

Subplots: How many do you have? Is the structure clear for each one? Do your subplots add to the story?


Scene Structure: Do you have a beginning, middle and end?

Characters: List three unique traits of each character.

Dialogue: Is your dialogue believable? When in doubt, delete the first two words of each sentence. Make sure you can decipher between characters who is actually speaking. If you cover the name with your thumb and cannot tell a difference between characters, you are in trouble.

Conflict: Two people want the same thing, but only one can have it. List internal and external conflicts in your script.

Resolution: Does your major plot and your subplots come together in a big finish?
