Hi Guys,
I was wondering if anyone could help with this one. I am aware that for the contests then scripts need to be about 110 pages long representing generally 1 minute per page.
However, how does this work with action. I watched a film today where the action took about a minute and all that happened was a one guy struggled to put a bandage on and the other grabbed a snack. They both then collapsed into their chairs.
This action took 1 minute but writing it could never take one page unless you added loads of pointless description. You could simply describe it in about four lines.
So, how do you write a piece of action that on screen will take a minute but trying to stick to the 1 page per 1 minute general rule?
Thanks
