The feedback and notes came in one big wave. After submitting to three different competitions at roughly the same time, in a two to three day span, the timetables for responses lined up relatively the same. I was still riding the high of the great phone call I had for my first ever script consultation for Dig Down, so I was eager to see if yet another outside source had a similar positive response to my script.
Unlike the other contests, this actually broke down the analysis into categories and provided a score. Below is how the initial draft I submitted fared:
Scores:
Concept/Originality (6)
Structure (8)
Plot (8)
Pacing (9)
Characters (7)
Dialogue (7)
Tone (8)
Conflict (8)
Emotional Response/Investment (7)
Marketplace Potential (8)
There were notes that went along with these scores, but because there is a lot to unpack with the comments, I will share the contents of the feedback next time.
