I'm about to start rewrites on my latest script and after checking I wasn't dreaming or living in an (albeit lovely) alternate reality, I'm forced to conclude that, yes, I'll have to make the page count larger this time, not smaller.
(Checks out window. Yup, sky's still gray. This must be home.)
This means I have a new leeway with my action and scene descriptions. Of course they'll still be terse, but having spent more time acting in plays than writing scripts, my descriptions tend to be only a small step up from "XDSL" (which is the director's decision anyway).
Can you recommend any scripts that offer descriptions that really drew you in as readers? Or any guidelines that have helped your descriptions be more compelling?
