TIME FOR MORE MEANINGLESS STATS

[jimjimgrande]

since you used some magic trick to put yours in an orderly row, I obviously could not read them.

Plus, I didn't want to give away that you were a part of my conspiracy.

Any sufficiently advanced technology appears to be magic to the primitives.

Steps:

1) Make sure Final Draft's report comes to you in Courier.

2) Remove the tabs from the Final Draft report and replace them with spaces so that everything lines up the way you want it.

3) Click on the "code" button on the Ezboard reply page.

4) Paste your table. It will not appear to line up with the proportionally spaced font you construct replies with. If you're worried, try a preview by checking the preview box and clicking Add reply.

5) You are now a magician. Move to London and live in a suspended lucite box for a month and a half.

What fun! I never knew Final Draft did these stats.

Script: 95 pages (FD tight, the way prodco wanted it, even after a cut-and-slash rewrite)

Just to show the difference between genres, this is from a VERY talky 105 page comedy:

# of words 16,843
# of paragraphs 3,853


General 0 0 %
Scene Heading 103 2%
Action 536 32%
Character 731 4%
Paranthetical 30 0%
Dialogue 2449 59%
Transition 4 0%


This is the first time I have ever used this feature, and I was amused by the profanity report as well.

I got a good 2 or 3 uses each of the top ten swear words, and somehow managed to work the word 'dildo' in 6 times, too.



Edited to add: God that looks awful...script is on another computer so i couldn't paste it.......ugh, it wont even let me put spaces in.....whatever...

here's a 95 page thriller I did - 2nd to last script. Really, I just want to see if I can get the columns to align.

I never knew these reports existed. I love the character report that tells me characters, # of lines, and the two other characters they interact with the most. By the way I'm using Sophocles.
