I’m working on a film writing question and need an explanation to help me study.
In week 4, we will discuss the industry’s development process and the use of “coverage” or story analysis to assess scripts and other materials under consideration as feature films properties. Coverage is a document You will read a provided short story and write “coverage” of its contents (a cover page with short summaries, a 1-2 page plot synopsis and a 1-2 pages of “comments” on its potential as a possible film), as well as a 2-3-page response paper considering the effectiveness of coverage as an evaluative tool, whether it’s an appropriate instrument for measuring a property’s potential, or what else it does/doesn’t account for. This assignment is due at the end of week 5.
