Script coverage is that quiet report I write for studios and producers. It contains a synopsis (1-2 pages for a feature), a few paragraphs of general comments, and a rating of PASS considers or RECOMMEND. Some employers also require specific ratings of POOR, FAIR, GOOD, and EXCELLENT for Concept, Plot, Character, and Dialogue. Script coverage lets my supervisors know if they ought to bother to read the script if the concept is lackluster but the author is someone to observe , what potential the project may need , what weaknesses would wish to be addressed, and what properties it might be compared to (An Adam Sandler comedy and a Mark Duplass comedy are very different – but before I read, my bosses might only know that the script is a “comedy”). Script notes are what I provide for writers. Instead of a formal synopsis (I can never understand why writers want synopses of their own work) and a couple of paragraphs of comments about the project’s potential, I’ll give you several pages of page-specific suggestions of where problems lie and the way i feel you’ll fix these problems, counting on what you’re aiming for. I won’t attempt to push you into any specific direction but will offer advice for the directions I feel are most commercial or interesting or make the foremost sense. I pride myself on being honest but supportive. I’m very meticulous, right down to specific lines of dialogue. Writing these notes takes me longer than writing basic comments for coverage does.
