There is a lot of controversy when it comes to critiquing a screenplay . Opinions differ from one another. But what are the most important aspects of a screenplay?
Is it the scenario ? The dialogue ? Grammar? Character development ? Twist? Uniqueness?
we know all the factors above should be checked if we want our script to turn out good. But honestly is grammar as important as the story?
Also what sort of people should vet your screenplays? What sort of people can actually give you decent advice on improving your screenplay? John Truby says if you give me any 10 pages of your script I can judge if it's a good one or not . Is that really the best way to realize if a writing is good? maybe some guy reads some 10 pages and finds many aspect of the screenplay incomprehensible. while maybe 30 pages later those ambiguities will get clarified. Or maybe the characters in a specific page end up in a weird place where people talk weird and do not talk grammatically correct. Is that a strong implication that this guy doesn't know how to write in english?
