hey all
i'm finishing the 1st draft of a big biopic and i ran a statistics report in FD out of curiosity.
came out to Action: 38%, Dialogue: 52%.
admittedly it's a fairly "talky" script, a la Scorsese or Sorkin (I WISH).
just wondering if that balance rings any alarm bells or if you guys have a "sweet spot" you try and aim for.
also curious if you often rework dialogue in a 2nd draft and a) cut it down a lot, and b) write as actions what you had originally written as dialogue.
