Script analysis fundamentals for the writer/director

In film school, more often than not, you will be tasked with writing your own script.

As the writer of the story, you still need to do a script analysis from the director’s perspective. Because of your expectations and writerly knowledge of the story, taking on the role of the director can create its own challenges.

Remember this: you will work just as hard to make a bad film as you will to make a good one. Good films start with a good script.
