Script Analysis


http://downloads.bbc.co.uk/writersroom/scripts/waterloo_road_s04e16.pdf

This script has many stage directions, however they seem to be written as a story, as though telling a story/describing the scene/actions of the characters, instead of directions for the actors.
The script also features more stage directions than dialogue in most of the scenes. It has emotions and also describing how the characters are feeling, even down to the things the viewers  can't see.

This script has many descriptions of the scene, and how the characters look/feel. This may be to give the actor more information as to how to act the part. It is written almost as a story.
It is written as to be rather modern, but still without much use of slang, so isn't as relevant to my script, however this is a script for a murder mystery/drama, and so could be useful.
