EXPO DVD: A Structure Checklist: How to Plug the Holes in Your Script

See your script or novel the way studio executives might see it.  (Our founder, Michael Ray Brown, has more than 25 years' experience as a Union story analyst for seven major studios.)  This analysis includes a cover sheet with a rating grid and a log line, followed by a one-page plot synopsis, and a comment running one-half to three-quarters of a page.

Please bear in mind that our Coverage is written from the viewpoint of a studio reader.  Not for the faint of heart, it gives you an uncensored look at what the Industry might think of your script.  It is not intended to provide ideas as to how it may be rewritten.  You can get a more detailed evaluation, as well as specific suggestions and alternate scenarios that could improve your screenplay, by requesting our Development Notes service.

Read a sample of our Studio-style Coverage.  You can also view this screenplay analysis as a PDF file (91 KB).  Or, if you prefer, right-click the link and select "Save Target As..." to save the file to your computer.  To view or print the document you must have the Acrobat® Reader® installed on your computer.  The Acrobat® Reader® can be downloaded, free of charge, from:
