Uncover the 20 Secret Screenwriting Hacks That Will Instantly Transform Your Script into a Blockbuster!
14) If you need to cut pages, cut that subplot that, deep down, you know isn’t working – People get attached to subplots that add little to the overall story. But if pages need to be cut, cutting a 4 out of 10 subplot can easily erase 10 pages from your screenplay.
15) If you have to bulk intro a bunch of characters at once, give them highly distinctive names – If you bulk intro (introduce 5-10 characters in a span of two pages) there is literally no way we’re remembering all of them. So the trick you want to use is to make each name very distinct and, if possible, representative of that character (Seamus for the geek, Rocco for the stud). Some writers find this to be below them. Well, good luck to you when you bring a key character back 20 pages later and the reader has no idea who they are. Which happens ALL THE TIME when I’m reading.
