SUBJECT: Mark Napier’s Chronological Edit
———————-
First….I apologize for the delay in response. I had a friend involved in a serious car accident and I have been dealing with him, his recovery and legal and medical followup for the last 8 days so it tossed a wrench into the works here for me. I just had too many distractions going on to focus on this class. At least I got the bulk out of the way.

What I learned: Again these tips are useful in reassessing what is relevant and contributes to the film and arc. If it adds no substance the I drop it.
The main improvements in my script thus far are with ACTs 1-3. ACT 4 I have the Beat sheet and Outline and concepts of the beginning, middle and end so the I have a good idea of how the dialog will go and hope to finish over the weekend.
The flow of my story outline is decent, but improvements are always needed given this is my first at script writing.
I have improved upon the dialog and clarity thus far for what I written as I have just too large a concentration of dialog or the description was too long. It is not a fast read in some areas. So I have tried breaking that down and reassess where there redundant or meaningless dialog. I am trying to go back to improve the arc in each scene.
As note the description was way too long in ACTs 2 and 3, but that is because I was trying to cram too many years of success to give the audience greater understanding.
As noted I am still working on the dialog of ACT 4.
