The client provided feedback on the script at regular meetings to help improve it. Areas identified for improvement included repetitive speech, sentence positioning, and finishing touches. The author addressed all of the client's feedback in subsequent drafts to make the script as high quality as possible. The final script met the client and project brief expectations as an industry standard script, using proper formatting and without offensive content. Through completing drafts and incorporating feedback, the author was able to produce a professional quality script.

EVALUATION AND SWOT ANALYSIS
1. EVALUATION
I met up with my client in order to make my script the best it can be, to ensure my film was up to a high
standard. The meetings were regular and I made sure I took on board everything the client said to advance. The
client liked the twist and the descriptions of each paragraph, especially the setting description in Scene 1, as the
setting and story was therefore placed in the client’s head.
However, there were a few improvements to be made in each draft; the first meeting feedback I needed to
improve was speech repetition, the second draft was changing the sentence positioning, which would fit into the
typical format of a script and third was just finishing touches of some of the speech and changing the scene
numbers because of this. I changed all of these dislikes to my script to improve my work and make it the best it
could be.
I have met the expectations of the client as I improved their dislikes, I met the needs of the brief as it was up to
the standard of an industry standard script. This represents my target audience as the speech is clear and
settings described understandably. I have produced a fully formatted industry standard script and shooting
script, as I used a template and looked at other scripts to gain clarity.
It meets legal and ethical requirements as it doesn’t have any offensive language for my target audience or any
other offensive material that could be reported.
Overall, I am extremely pleased with the script I have produced, and I wouldn’t change anything as I have
already changed everything that may have degraded the whole script. I have learnt that it is enormously helpful
to complete drafts and have meetings to improve, as it made the script as professional looking as it could be.
