FEEDBACK:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some feedback I have received both privately and through Shore Scripts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFrom the script coverage I have commissioned on three feature films that have been successfully completed, this is by far the best one. The level of depth, analytical approach, and most of all emphasizing areas within a script that are central was a standout. As a filmmaker, I highly recommend Blaise.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Writer \/Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlaise reserves a resourceful knowledge of storytelling techniques, and his reports provide a constructive and respectful view of the story\u2019s basis. His review of our TV treatment has been exhaustively solid and insightful, and his collaborative mindset has made beautiful ideas pop into our minds for development, reinforcing our confidence in this project. Thank you Blaise\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just wanted to say how much I have enjoyed writing this script over the last few months. I wouldn\u2019t have been able to get anywhere near where I am now, without your brilliant ideas and advice. Feels like we\u2019ve come a long way!\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThank you for a quick response! It\u2019s nice to have professional eyes on something I\u2019ve looked at for so long. These were helpful words and I feel prepared to rewrite my script. Thanks for offering this analysis.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks for expediting our notes. They were excellent. Really helpful.\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have just completed a first draft of a new script that we\u2019re developing. It was super helpful having some feedback on the last one and I was hoping to get you to do a 5 page report on the new script. Are you available for a read?\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Writer \/Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBlaise was an absolute pleasure to work with. He gave me very descriptive notes and provided those notes in a very timely manner. I highly recommend hiring.\u201d<\/em> – Writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI used to run a film school, and I would have happily hired the person who provided such astute feedback. The tone is encouraging, the suggestions strong and in tune with the project. My thanks\u201d.<\/em> \u2013 Writer via Shore Scripts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you so much for the 5-page coverage which I found very encouraging and also super helpful.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Writer\/Director, via Shore Scripts<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHello, thank you very much for your review of my script. It seems as though you did in fact really take the time to give me a critique specific to my scene which I really appreciate. Also, you have highlighted some very key issues and possible which could definitely help me to enhance my screenplay.\u201d <\/em>\u2013 Writer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey, Blaise \u2013 excellent job again! I will do a deep dive into this for draft 2, have a fair few ideas around the character arcs as suggested.. \ud83d\ude42 Thanking you again\u201d<\/em> \u2013 Writer \/Director<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SERVICES:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard Development report TV PiIot or Feature (\u00a3100):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This report will run to 3 pages and look at the premise and its potential, the characters and their arcs, the story, plot, structure, pace, dialogue, and world of the script. It will point out problematic areas, offer solutions, and a way forward for the next draft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-depth development report TV Pilot and Feature (\u00a3150)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a deep dive into the script and will look more at the underlying aspects of the project. What are the themes and what is the writer trying to say? Is this the best way to get that message across? Like the standard report, it will examine the premise, characters and their arcs, the story, plot, structure, pace, dialogue, and world of the script, but it will delve deeper and also consider the visual language and metaphors, the market potential for the project, the theme and how successfully it comes through, the prose writing style in the actual script, and will be introduced by a scoring grid highlighting areas that need work and areas that are satisfactory, good or hopefully, excellent. It will be around five to six pages long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bespoke services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am happy to tailor feedback and reports to the writer or producer\u2019s needs. I can do face-to-face online feedback and help brainstorm projects. I am happy to work longer on a script, whether that be story brainstorming, in-depth doctoring, polishing, redrafting, or rewriting. Please contact me to arrange details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standard turnaround is two weeks. Additional charge for fast turnaround on request. I will try to inform you of the turnaround time at the time of the order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scripts over 125 pages additional charge of \u00a31 per page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Payment is in advance, by PayPal or bank transfer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
