Follow a step-by-step approach to review the script:
Read through the entire script carefully to understand its overall narrative, themes, and character arcs.
Evaluate the script's structure: Assess the script’s adherence to a three-act structure (or another intentional structure) and how effectively it sets up the premise, develops conflicts, and resolves them.
Analyze character development: Look at the arc of each main character. Are their motivations clear? Do they evolve in a way that’s believable and satisfying? Provide feedback on making the characters more nuanced or relatable.
Inspect the dialogue: Is the dialogue natural and distinct for each character? Does it serve the plot and character development? Offer suggestions for making the dialogue more impactful or authentic.
Assess pacing and narrative flow: Identify any sections where the pacing feels off—either dragging or rushed. Suggest ways to improve pacing, such as cutting unnecessary scenes or expanding on crucial moments.
Point out plot holes and inconsistencies: Highlight any aspects of the plot that don’t make sense or contradict earlier parts of the script. Offer solutions to address these issues.
Provide general feedback on thematic coherence and emotional impact: Evaluate how well the script conveys its intended themes and emotional beats. Suggest ways to enhance the script’s thematic depth and emotional resonance.
Offer specific recommendations for improvement: Based on your analysis, provide concrete suggestions for rewriting parts of the script, including alternative plot points, enhanced dialogue, or adjustments to character arcs.
