SCRIPT ASSESSMENTS

Tin Tent

Thursday 16 June 2011

can anyone help with a query about script assessment protocol? is it ok to provide some sort of explanation of a script - other than a synopsis? or to ask for a specific aspect of the work to be looked at or ignored? i mean, will script reviewers be miffed if they get a little orientation blurb? or direction to review just one aspect of a script? say for example, could i ask 'do not consider for main house production'? i ask because, sometimes it feels like dramaturgs and script reviewers use 'for main house production' or 'for publication' as a sort of criteria against which they make their comments - and understandably so. but what if you just wanted some aspect of the work looked at - or not looked at - as the case may be. for instance would i be able to ask a reviewer to look at scene construction rather than character development? tin tent
