SWOT Analysisof Script
Strengths
The main strengthof myscript wasthe fact thatthe descriptionsof all the keyscenesandinspecific
the fightsare clear,and in some casesimmersive,meaningthatthe userreadingexperience is alot
more funthan what itwouldbe if those descriptionswere notthere.Itmade youwantto read on.
Furthermore,the dialogueinthe shotsduringthe end especiallyinthe actionscene feltsmoothand
therefore flowedwithlittle tonohindrancesthat breakitup. All of itfeelsnatural andwill
potentiallybe easytofilmwhenitcomestoproduction.
The plot twistalsofeltlike anice addto the scriptin the endas suggestedbythe clientinorderto
leave the audience onedge inthe final partof the film.Itwill thenleave roomforapotential sequel
as well if Iwere to evermake anotherfilmtoleadonfromthisone.
Weaknesses
The weaknessesincluded first,alotof formattingerrorsandas a resultitmeantthat some of the
stage directions anddescriptionswere describedinthe wrongway aroundmeaningthatthere was
lessclarityinthe script.

Opportunities

there isthe possibilityof addingasequel if itwere tobe successful.
Threats
One bigissue wasthe time-keepingelementwhichhinderedme because atone point,Iendedup
behindscheduleandthereforecausedme tohave to workharderin order to justmatch the
scheduleddeadline.Ialsofell backonthe shootingscriptcausingdelaystothe productionof the
film.The maintime-keepingelementthatwasdifficultwasdealingwithformattingerrorsand
anomaliesinthe scriptdue tohavingto go overit a lotof time,buttowardsthe endthisbecame
more easyand apparentcause you memorize the scriptandthe contents.
Main Evaluation
Overthe course of a couple of weeks,Ihave beenhavingmeetingswithaclientfrom
shortoftheweekandproducing ascriptbasedoff clientfeedbackthatIhave beenreceiving
throughoutthisprocess.Overall the mainsetof feedbackinthe beginningwasquite bigdue toall
the script andformattingerrorsthat were comingup.Stage directionswere overall okaybut
sometimesinthe wrongplace andwere notconsistent.However,one thingstoodstronginall the
feedback.Mydescriptionswerecoherent,anditfeltlike youwere inthe scene.Mycharacter
descriptionswerethere aswell,beingclear.
As we startedto getintothe laterdrafts suchas three andfour,the formattingerrorswere fine, and
the majoritywere dealt with, butthe clientsuggestedaplottwistwhichIthenlaterimplemented
withthe doppelgangerbeatingMichael andtakinghisplace inthe endwithnonotice.
In termsof the legal andthe ethical,there isnothinginthere thatisn’tandwouldn’tbe shockingto
the audience inmyscriptas of currently,butpreviouslywe didhave afew potential legal issuesand
thingswe wouldhave tobe careful with.The mostnotable one wasthe fact that originally,the
criminal wasgoingto have a gun andtherefore we wouldhave hadtogetsome permissionfromthe
police of the area sothat therefore we wouldn’thave gottenarrestedif we werecarryingarounda
weapon.We resultedinthe endtoa knife whichcouldpotentiallyalittle more dangerousbutbetter
interms of stayinginthe guidelinesof the law.
Overall,aftercompletingthe mainscripttofull industrystandardandthe shootingscriptwithit,I
feel reallyhappywiththe productnowandI don’tthinkIwouldchange anythingif Iwere to start
overbecause Ifeel the storyisclear andcoherentforthe time thathas beenallocatedforthe run
