Script vs Final Scenes.

1. Scene Selection:
   • Choose three specific scenes from the pilot script that you want to analyze. These scenes should be significant in terms of character development, plot progression, or thematic elements.
2. Script Analysis:
   • Read the selected scenes from the pilot script carefully. Pay attention to the dialogue, character descriptions, and any stage directions provided by the writer (Brad Ingelsby).
3. Character Foundation:
   • Examine how the script establishes the characters’ personalities, motivations, and relationships. Look for details in the script that give actors insights into their roles.
4. Dialogue Delivery:
   • Compare the way the lines are written in the script to how they are delivered by the actors in the final scenes. Analyze whether the actors stay true to the tone and intention of the original script or if they bring their own interpretation.
5. Action and Direction:
   • Note any action sequences or physical movements described in the script. Compare these descriptions to how they are executed in the final scenes. Consider how the director’s vision and the actors’ performances bring these actions to life.
6. Production Design:
   • Observe how the script describes the settings and locations. Analyze how these descriptions are translated to the screen through production design. Look for details in the final scenes that match the script’s vision.
7. Cinematography Choices:
   • Explore how the script suggests camera angles, shot types, and visual storytelling elements. Compare these suggestions to the actual cinematography in the final scenes. Consider how camera work enhances the script’s narrative.
8. Overall Impact:
   • Evaluate how well the script lays the foundation for the actors’ performances, the delivery of lines, and the action in the final scenes. Assess how closely the final product aligns with the original script’s vision.

When comparing the script to the final scenes, you may uncover nuances in the creative process, including how actors interpret their roles, how directors bring their vision to life, and how the collaborative efforts of the production team shape the overall presentation of the story.
