....It is to highlight keys items needed to visualize?
:rolleyes
I've taken everyone's advise and read 4 scripts in 2 days, with a goal to read 30 this month before I get stuck into writing much. I've also found it useful to write notes regarding how to structure some of my scene while reading other screenplays. I have been saving these script pages as separate word files to reference later.
My first attempt for an action scene, (not really but notes on what happens):
_________________________________________________
Richard pushes aside the YELLOW NICOTINE stained ceiling
tile to carefully, without making a sound, tuck the shoulder bag onto the SUB-CEILING structure.
He is paranoid and earful that no one approaches the bathroom and risk spotting him. When the tile is slide back into its frame he steps down from the toilette bowel, sweating but relieved. With one foot on the dirty floor his CHUNKY SATELLITE PHONE rings. He sits down on the filthy public TOILETTE to answer the phone.
:b

I was trying to keep in mind that I want people to ask
themselves why is he putting a bag in the ceiling of a public toilette? What is in it? (A bomb, money, etc.), but also to
give a concise visual picture of setting and action. Is this
what I should be thinking about when reading scripts.
:\
I think type of note keeping will help me to structure scenes in my mind's eye, when otherwise....I still only have an inkling on how to do this.
