Do u think its important to spend long time on rewriting action lines, if you're shooting movie yourself?
For example:
"Woman takes a sip of her drink through the straw, unenthusiastically, flips the book over"
Vs
"Woman glances at the book unenthusiastically"
In other words, should I write it as I see the scene vs how it should feel"
Reason why I'm asking is because it feels as if I spend long long time trying to shrten everything out, find better words to describe action, and in the end its only me and my "actors" that look over the screenplay..
