Post Day 27 Assignment Here

[Emmanuel Sullivan]

Emmanuel’s Solved Scene Problems!

What I learned doing this assignment is reviewing and improving every scene after analyzing is the best way to enhance a script that readers will engage and continue reading. An example, I read the pilot for Six Feet Under and I couldn’t put it down. The scene descriptions were very brief but visual and the dialogue fit with moving the story forward.

Ed Solved Scene Problems. What I learned doing this assignment is every scene has to count. Every scene has to deliver entertainment through dialogue, setting, action., arcs, suspense etc. My First/second drafts contain roughly designed scenes that I ask myself is this the best scene it could be? If not use Hal’s review process to improve them. Focusing on a scene at a time makes the task easier rather than being distracted by how to improve 93 pages of screenplay.
