Difference Between A Script Analyst, Script Consultant, And Script Doctor - Cody Smart via FilmCourage.com.

A major skill that companies look for in interns and assistants is the ability to read scripts and write coverage. The problem is, there aren’t many ways to learn how to write it, even in film school. So, for those interested, I will be running a short class on script coverage this upcoming June/July.

It will function much like a weekly class and will last roughly 2-4 weeks. We will meet using the Coffee Shop Critique’s server on discord, where there will be a channel dedicated to the class. The first meeting will consist of learning what what script coverage is, how it’s used, and how to write it. You’ll be able to ask questions and see templates and examples. At the end, you will be given a script to cover for the week. A week later, we will meet again, review the coverage, see where we can improve, and talk a bit more about the business side of things.

Hello my lovely filmmakers! We have an itinerary for the script coverage class! It will be a four-week course run via discord through the Coffee Shop Critiques server. Click this link to join the script coverage channel.

Thank you for visiting my blog! 

This blog is dedicated to breaking down scenes, themes, and everything in between from films to television shows. I will analyze new and old concepts. Guilty pleasures and cult classics. The critically acclaimed and the popcorn flicks. Things that are beloved in pop culture and things that are not.

Each analysis will run between 200 - 300 words. My goal is to state my opinion of these films and TV shows in a clear and concise manner. Hopefully, my blog will encourage you to view these films and TV shows at your own convenience.

Please feel free to provide any feedback in the comments section and/or email your inquiries to [email protected]. I also look forward to any film suggestions!
