Action vs. Dialogue

Problem: The first five pages of my script contain more action than audio. Therefore, it exceeds the rule of 1 page per minute. It seems that it is necessary not to talk but a page to explain the behavior. Is this a common problem? Have you thought of this? You can give me some advice, let me feel at ease to overcome this problem, or tell me.

Jeffrey Schechter answers as follows. You are right, but the explanation may be slower (or faster) than the conversation, but when you reach 110 pages you need to average all. The best thing you can do is to make the description short and powerful, especially on the valuable first page where the reader forms the impression of his or her first (usually irreversible) script. Two to three short sentences will be sent. There are many blank areas on the page. Also, please make voice active. Jack jumped, he hit a 4 foot wall, he crushed himself in every movement.

Please only use the maximum explanation that is necessary to express your thoughts. Do not go to the book (Jack jumps to a rough brick building like a gazelle, he can not grab a wall like a gigantic spider and can not rise above the ground. With a wonderful, superhuman power Pushing yourself beyond the jack wall will put the gymnast into green.BLECH.)

The fast-paced scene needs to keep the audience at the end of the seat. There are various speeds. There is an easy dialogue cut, then there is action like tracking. Obviously, a series of actions that are not restricted in conversation or conversation will be much faster, but remember the heart rate monitor. To discuss, let's say that the first cut dialog scene on the heart rate monitor reaches 90 and the sequence of actions ranges from 120 to 150 (these ratios represent our scale measurements and only the spectators are aware It is not the actual heart of a person). My heart beats slightly faster than usual. )

Drama depends on the development of their dialogue. Dialogue is a verbal change between characters. As mentioned in most novels, there is no explanation or comment about actions, so dialogue must convey the entire story. An excellent playwright has opened up a way to clarify individuality, advance actions, and introduce themes by efficiently using dialogue. The conversation is spoken with another character by one character, then they respond. But sometimes, like Shakespeare's Hamlet, the character shows monologue and he or she will speak with him or herself on stage. In many cases, such statements are important because they are considered to be particularly true. When people talk to each other they may cheat, but in general, when they speak, they have no reason to tell the truth.

In his dialogue entitled "Euthyphro", Plato talks with Socrates and the same name characters of his work and discusses respect or correct behavior. As it always supports platonic dialogue, Socrates has questioned this so-called expert - in this case Euthyphro - with this technology and insight, which reveals that the latter was devoid of real understanding did. While my father was prosecuted to kill someone, Euthyphro was surprised by his solid moral certainty by Socrates. Socrates believes that one must have abnormal moral clarity in order to take such ferocious legal action against his father. Euthyphro must know the nature of good and evil
