Summary of Script Feedback from Christopher Johnson

  • The dialog is probably the main area that needs changing
  • Instead of having Stella say "I fee so fucking directionless" have her imply it in an analogy. Such as the Well analogy used in West Wing.
  • Try to apply the 'show don't tell' technique to your writing
  • REMINDER: 'Show don't tell' = enable the reader to experience the story through action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the author's exposition, summarisation, and description.
  • The narrative is kind of like a modern fable.
