This opened my eyes to what production companies and studios look for. They want to cater to their audience base, market the film for that EDI GOLD REEL, keep an audience glued and possibly come back for a sequel. My whole perspective has changed on how I read scripts now due to this arsenal of development insight.
Also, it makes me look at my work differently as well.
It’s good to know the different perspectives of getting notes from fellow screenwriters vs development assistants and executives. We tend to focus on the craft: Our feedback can help shape the story itself and often comes from a shared creative language. Development assistants and executives, however, bring a market-driven perspective. They’re thinking about what sells and aligns with their studio’s brand. Both viewpoints provide invaluable feedback to sharpen a script for creative and industry success. Thanks, David.
When choosing a project, it is important to keep in mind how the studio execs will look at it. Thanks David. Looking at it from the exec perspective is essential, since they will have the last word.
