SUMMARY OF FEEDBACK
- stick to 3-line action rule
- write it as a script not a novel - it's what the audience clearly sees
- don't have too much going on - it can be confusing
- don't use caps when writing characters names after they've been introduced
- re-read dialogue and action to see if it makes sense
- have the correct grammar and punctuation
- remove page numbers
- make sure you specify if it's night or day
EVALUATION:
For my final draft of my script, the main change was to cut down the action lines. As i was writing the script initially, i got carried away and wrote detailed actions lines for the future actress to act out. However as i got my feedback, i needed to cut them down as the action lines aren't the main focus of the script, the dialogue, is (in my opinion.) So to go forward to improve i cut down the action lines and focused more on the dialogue, which in turn would determine how the actress would express Heidi in their own way, to show what sort of person Heidi is. Another thing that i had to consider whilst cutting down was anything that was unnecessary had to go. So i prioritised the key points of the script; the dialogue, the setting, the time of day and action lines. So when i was looking at each page to see what was necessary, i looked in on the action lines as well as dialogue closer to make sure they made sense, to then determine if they were 100% needed in the final draft of the script.
