This is similar to the “action sequences” post, but I was wondering how to deal with script length with action laden scripts? For instance, I’m working on one now that has several scenes where there’s lots of sneaking around and war. You can only describe this in so many words without sounding redundant. While it may only take 1 or 2/8th a page to describe the scene, it will take at least a minute or more on screen. So far the script’s only 72 pages, and I’d like to expand it to around 80 before the final draft. I’ve seen a lot of contests that consider a feature at least 90 pages, but the story would be too bogged down and loose its pace if I added on another 18 pages. So time wise it should reach around 90 min on the screen, but it’s short on pages. Any suggestions?
