Screenwriting Analysis Series: Wednesday – Introduction

Hello, folks!

I'm back with an update on my Screenwriting Analysis Series! A lot of things happened in my personal life, most quite hectic and bad, and in the midst of all that I had to move out from my place. So, unfortunately, I lost the IT: Chapter One script I had analyzed up to its half. I'm still looking for it in my boxes and anywhere I can think of because I don't want to lose that progress.

However, I don't want to keep you waiting any longer. After watching the whole of the Wednesday series and loving it like there's no tomorrow, I chose to analyse the first episode of that show. Plus, the fact that the Addams family are tied to three of my happiest memories says a lot. Hence I decided to analyse the pilot's script first so we'd both have something to analyze and learn from. 🙂

Fortunately, it was easy enough to find now thanks to The Script Lab, which made the pilot script, Wednesday's Child Is Full of Woe, available on their website for free.

As you can see, I already started analyzing Wednesday's pilot. 🙂 It's going well and it's a real pleasure to do.

So, loves, I'll see you soon with the analysis of the pilot script! And as soon as I find the script of IT: Chapter One, it'll be next on the list, promise!

Stay tuned!

Announcing My Screenwriting Analysis Series! (TV Shows & Movies)

Hello hello, folks!

I'm putting together a screenplay, movie, tv show pilot and script analysis series. Why? As a script reader, and future professional screenwriter (you can read my Daphné scene here and my Philip scene there), I thought this would not only serve as an immensely rich training ground for me and you, but also as quite an interesting way to look at movies, TV shows and stories we love and the screenwriting at work behind it!

Now, what will I cover? In all cases, I will go through the characterization & relationships, the logic, the flow, my overall Impression, my thoughts & what I learned. Depending on whether it's the script, the movie/TV show, or the beat sheet, I will also tackle the format, the cinematographic techniques, the acts, and more. Plus, if the movie/TV show is based on a book or on a series of books, I will add a post that compares the movie/TV show to the book(s) while covering their dialogue, descriptions, characterization & relationships, divergences, techniques, structure & beats.

As for each collection of posts (by collection I mean "each series of blog posts pertaining to one specific story"), here is the order:
