A conversation sprung up between Ravenlocks and myself. There is a slight disparity between my observation of how an audience reacts, and what is probably expected of them.
As a fumble brained newbie clutzing his way around trying to learn one thing and another it seems to me that audience watching should be one of the tools a script writer keeps in their tool box and it should work well on many levels.
Even the worst movie can have a scene that grabs the audience, even the best might have something that loses them.
Is audience watching a good solid tool ?
If it contradicts prevailing opinion, which should you choose ?
What do you think can be gained from audience watching ?
How much should audience watching influence your script ?
