Screenwriting : Story Analyst Test by Russel Bongueno

Hey Russel, it seems great! But maybe you can get some help with the dialogue and language? If the concept, structure, character and formatting are OK it would be a waste not to do that.

Hi Aschwin, the cost are usually not friendly and you know how writers struggle to earn a living. Though if a fellow screenwriter would be kind in giving me a helping hand, I'll appreciate. I could help him/her structure and characterise one of his/her script too.

Hi Owen, I managed to get the script be read by 3 professionals, 1 screenwriter, 2 producer, there's an actress who's currently reading. The 3 said almost the same thing that there's a need to spellcheck and grammar check. Though, they like it. Then I sent to a screencraft story analyst. believe me most of the story analysis use the same criteria. They score from 1 to five based on four to six elements of the story. Then they decide if it's a pass, consider or recommend. On my case, english being my second language I understand they mark poor on Dialogue, but what I can't get is why is it a pass when the rate are good to excellent on the other elements?

If everything else is good and only dialogue and English are letting you down and you have faith that your script will succeed if those issues are improved, then it seems logical that it would be worth spending the money to hire a proofreader/editor to fix those issues.
