Mmm... It Smells Like Movie Success To Me!

Lenore Wright introduces a checklist for screenwriters to adopt when developing a hit film. It includes the simple questions of who, what, when, where, why, and how. If you don't address each of these questions, then your script is not ready to submit. This is especially helpful when trying to propose your idea to big time directors and producers. Wright says, "They can smell it," already knowing if it's worthy or not. The questions also define everything from setting selection to camera techniques. It may seem somewhat basic and too obvious, but in the long run it's what makes a script more defined and detailed.
