Hello All,
Please accept my apologies in advance. I have a lot of question flitting around my tiny mind, so this might be the first of many cries for help.
I have read, somewhere, that there are no 'set in stone' rules for writer/director scripts, this is good because I have probably broken many in my script.
However, one of the things that I am trying my hardest to adhere to is the idea that one page roughly equates to one minute screen time.
My problem with this, and what I would like to get some help with is, how do I regulate my 'action' scenes? At present, in the current draft, I have not restricted myself, I have allowed myself to be as descriptive (probably "overly') as I feel I need to be, to express the scene I see in my head.
I'd really appreciate some pointers on this because I would hate to think I could end up with either a bloated final draft or one that give a wildly incorrect run-time impression.
Thank you everyone
