Premise Evaluation Service
Premise
Evaluation: $100.00 |
|
Our
Premise Evaluation consists of an examination of the basic concept
of your idea to determine how well it lends itself to adaptation
to screenplay form.
Included in the examination is the creation
of a proposed 'Log Line' (1
– 2 sentences). As an added benefit we provide up to 3 potential
versions for you to consider.
Using our resources we will perform a 'parallel
property' search similar to that done as part of script
clearance. Though not as intense as a typical script clearance
search, it will cover a wide range of sources including title
search amongst using other criteria. A search of listing of projects
currently in production will be included.
A thorough excavation of the potential of how
your idea might be successfully developed is completed. Tying
into accessing our Script
Doctoring services, our notes include a proposal for having
your idea fully developed. |

Dramatic-Value Change™ Analysis PACKAGES:
(full
service details)
A vital element of writing is the Value
Change, which is necessary for a story to move forward. The
Script Archeologist provides a unique
analysis, charting Dramatic-Value
Changes in your script.
Dramatic Value describes
the 'beat value'
in terms of its intensity.
Our Proprietary Service plots the story's Dramatic-Value
Curve over the length of your entire script. The 'beat
value' is calculated by our proprietary Beat
Analysis System based on a histogram of story beats executed
and their dramatic values.
The resulting graphic
analysis illustrates where your story correctly builds and
continues to evolve through dramatic value changes, and where it flat-lines.
These flat-lines or plateaus represent problems that can result in
the reader losing interest, being confused and/or a breakdown of the
story movement.
