I recently read in a book about film budgeting and scheduling that the average number of scenes in a typical 100 - 120 page screenplay is btw. 150 - 200 scenes. This is factoring 'scene within a scene' situations that would require an AD or production manager to divide a particular part of a script written as 1 scene into 2 or more scenes for scheduling purposes.
After reading this, I became a little concerned because my recently completed script has about 80 - 85 scenes, even after breaking out 'scene within a scene' situations.
Is my script 'light' in terms of number of scenes? Does it matter?
Thanks in advance.
