To be honest, for once, I was disappointed noone had even commented on my screenplay. Not even to say it was rubbish!!
Plenty of great screenplays on this site go completely unnoticed, not one single comment. Sometimes the author comes to the boards to check, sometimes they don't, but of course when the author decides that they NEED these comments more than anyone else, they self promote their crap, thus stirring up a little "drama" or what have you, thus leading to more and more people reading it.
The script review exchange is there for a reason, bud. But with the way you came off here, I, and hopefully others, won't give this a look.
Re the shot types and the numerous 'we see', and 'we cut to' etc. I know these are real school-boy errors, I just struggle to put it into format sometimes.

I have the same exact problem bro. I write 'we see' in the beginning of a scene. Writing a challenge a script can sometimes be more difficult than a novel when it comes to describing a setting. You don't want to be too breif but you'll get slammed for wordiness. I sometimes do not know how to start of a scene in a script. We see always seems very convevient. I think if we are a little wordy and use a lot of descriptions starting off writing and then come back and re read it for editing purposes it's easier to see how we can shorten it so that you are still giving the same picture. Good luck re writing
Incomplete sentences are cool in a script. You will find that many times, all you need to do with the "We See" is lop it right off -- and the description still works fine. Sometimes even better.
These: We see cows in a field. We see a blood-soaked body. We see a majestic sailing ship.
Become: Cows in a field. A blood-soaked body. A majestic sailing ship.
See how that works? All of these are perfectly acceptable ways to begin your scene.
i used to live in england (i dont now) so i dont think its your british humor anyway i apologize for taking it the wrong way im sure it wasnt meant in a mean way... just stick around here and read other scripts and well all return the favor
It is funny but the descriptions of shots and scene's far out weigh the dialogue it's more of a story than a script. I'm from the U.K and don't really wanna get involved in the personal slanging matches. The guys young and has inadvertently offended.....no big deal we've all done silly things at a young age.
