Screenwriters, something that looks great on the script might not translate to blockbuster films and producer interest. Craig Kellem at Absolute Write has some tips on how to make your screenplay look a little sluttier without actually turning it into a full-on whore:
Here's what we did:
--created a sense of jeopardy earlier for our hero. Easy to do and effective;
--made situations that seemed ominous and threatening a bit MORE ominous and threatening. Bold lettering and harsher words can be a writer's best friend;
--made the protagonist a little more isolated and seemingly guilty. He already was and it didn't hurt to turn up the heat;
--gave antagonist a slightly more lethal sense of being-ness, and did it earlier;
--used more ominous-sounding adjectives;
In a world...of crappy scripts...can you disguise a good story as a marketable one? You'll have to read on to see.
