Sometimes I want to slow down the reader, for effect. That said, I totally understand your logic and will keep that in mind.

When I comment on scripts in an analysis this is one place I meet a lot of resistance from new writers with scripts crammed with wrylies. Thanks so much for your feedback from the perspective of a writer.

I agree 100% with this idea! Some years back I was at a Scripwriting contest at NYU (Tisch Hall) sponsored by the Black Filmmakers Association. I had written a script about a boyhood experience that changed my life based on the Civil Rights era in the South.

One of the main characters was actually based on a Black woman that I observed as a child. Several of the other Screenwriters had already presented scenes from their scripts and I was really impressed. My script was up next and I was sure that none of these ‘northern’actors could relate to a real ‘down South character’in my script. Boy, was I wrong.

The three actors took my script and went over to a corner for a few minutes to prepare. When the performed the 10 minute scene I was TOTALLY AMAZED! Without and directions from me (only the dialogue) the acted this scene out ACTUALLY as I envisioned it when I wrote the script.

How COOL is that. The main actor PHYLLIS YVONNE STICKNEY played the lead character like she knew her. The inflection of her voice, her mannersims, jestures, were spot on. From that day to this I developed a mad respect for ‘real actors.’
peace & blessimgs
