someone critique my script

hello

this is my first completed screenplay. i had it registered in the wga and made a copyright of it, playing it safe. could someone give me an honest critique. i just want some more feed back because next step is to make a full feature digital movie.

thanks
 
No link provided.

But I'd be happy to critique your post ... short and to the point. I liked the use of the lower case letters to open sentences, it symboled a rebellion to the norms of traditional English Grammar ... powerful and important ... your post has a definite voice.

hello

poke, i'm new to writing on internet boards, not familiar with the protocols. if, it's essential to capitalize i will, don't mean to offend anyone. maybe i'm just being lazy or i didn't think it mattered. let me know, thanks.
 
Poke's just being a weenie. :bag: (mostly)

It is a good idea, though, to let interested people know how to go about contacting you to review it.

Lots of options. PMs, e-mail, direct link to download, on a website, whatever. It's up to you.

I usually go with a "Hit my e-mail button, if interested" routine. The e-mail buttons (which work if you filled in your Profile) are really easy to find... listed on every post you make, and in your Profile.

I'd take you up on your offer, but I just received someone else's to go through, this weekend. I'll get back to you when I'm done with it, though.

Oh, and about the grammar Poke mentioned... In many ways it's very important, as messageboards are a text-based medium where posts can easily be misunderstood if they are not clear enough. It might even be a little more important to script/screenwriters, asking people to put aside time to review 70-odd pages of material.

Most importantly... :welcome:

Max, sorry for the misunderstanding ... Since you did not post a link to your script (or how you want interested parties to contact you), I decided to have a little fun with you. In fact, I don't care a bit if someone uses correct grammarization on them there words they put in those post thingies. It was a mean spirited thing to do I guess. Sorry about it.

I shall now go sit in the corner.

poke, i will send you my script but i don't know your email and if i send it on the email post it doesn't have an attachment. i'm such a neophyte at this. vince i sent my script to your email, thanks for the reply.

thanks
