The  Screenplay Coverage

Screenplay coverage is an essential tool for screenwriters, both new and experienced. Relying on friends or actors to read your script isn't enough. A professionally crafted screenplay coverage service provides detailed insights into the main components and intricacies of the script from various perspectives.

​

One way to get screenplay coverage is to enter contests that offer detailed feedback as part of their submission process. It's always best to submit to contests that provide such feedback.

​

TAT Productions offers Script Coverage with detailed summaries and in-depth analyses of your script. We base each coverage on the principles applied to book reviews, along with guidelines specific to screenplays, in line with standard professional practices in the mainstream media industry.

Ratings Use a Rubric for Each Parameter

​

When covering a screenplay, every category below is measured on a scale of 1-5, from low to high performance rating. Each aspect is thoroughly explained to the client in detail. Here's an overview:

​

• Genre: What is the genre of the screenplay? Is there more than one genre? How well do films of this genre typically perform?

• Formatting: Is the screenplay properly formatted? Does it use the Hollywood Standard or a similar format? Does it follow the established rules?

• Outline: Is there a clear outline with acts and turning points? How well is the dramatic curve developed, and is the plot followed effectively?

• Character Arcs: How do characters change from beginning to end? How well are the character archetypes defined?

• Premise: What is this script about in one sentence, a three-sentence paragraph, and a one-pager? What are the main, greater, and general ideas of the story?

• Plot Summary: Can we track the acts and turning points?

• Target Audience: Who is the intended audience for this film? Why would someone want to watch it?

• Turning Points: How strong or weak are the turning points? How many are there, and what types are they?

• Production Value: High, medium, or low budget.
