Nick:

You need a title page.

The water coloring marks are a distraction.

No need to number scenes.


Quoted Text
INT. ADAM'S CAR - NIGHT 1


Just NIGHT or DAY - lose the 1


Quoted Text
Driving the car is ADAM, a young man 19, wearing a uniform
from his job at the movie theater driving and singing along
to the song on the radio. He pulls into the parking lot of
the college he is attending.


Look to write in an active/present voice, It'll read crisper if lose the "is" and "ing" words. i.e., drives rather than is driving. e.g.,

ADAM (19), wearing a movie theater uniform, sings along with a song on the radio as he drives.  and singing along

Hi Nick.

Sorry to be blunt here. But, If I weren't -Id be doing you no favour.

Poorly written  - no story.. No ending either. Seems as if you wrote this simply cause you wanted to write something?

You may have heard this.. Or you will still.. The one thing that was DRILLED into me when I first started writing, has; READ AS MUCH SCRIPTS AS YOU CAN! There are plenty here for starters..

And hay.. don't be despondent, keep writing.. keep writing.. Practise makes perfect.

I look forward to your next script.

Good luck.


Who am I? A man with a hundred stories... you want to read one?
