“You're The Best”
Written on: 13/06/2013
I took a gamble and tried the Industrial Scripts services, and I have to confess, you are simply the best in the business. The quality of feedback you sent back to me wasn’t only ‘highly’ constructive, it was extremely detailed and encouraging. You certainly know how to encourage a writer. I will read your notes over and over again before doing a rewrite to improve the story’s core idea, narrative and structure. Thank you to the Industrial Scripts Team. I shall be back with the...

“Outstanding Feedback Service”
Written on: 12/06/2013 by happywriter (1 review written)
The quality of feedback from Industrial Scripts is second to none. To date I have received two sets of feedback on a feature script and on both occasions the notes were incredibly insightful and useful. Having a 'fresh pair of eyes' on the script was exactly what was needed to enable me and my writing partner to move on to the next draft and make the necessary improvements. I have just booked another report on the latest draft and will continue to use Industrial Scripts for all my... (read more)

“Just What The Doctor Ordered!”
Written on: 10/06/2013 by Dawjeh1
I ordered the general coverage analysis service #10 from Industrial Scripts and received my notes 10 days later. Not only was this a fast turnaround but the reader gave me an extra page of notes at no further charge. I have written many scripts and received lots of coverage reports from different companies and I am writing this review because I was overly impressed by the readers’ ability to highlight my scripts weaknesses effectively without making feel like a novice who should stick...

Written on: 09/06/2013 by JacobKay
In a very intense course that lasted the day, the tutor managed to, in depth, cover industrial and artistic processes for screenwriting and the profession of script reading and report production. The course covered narrative theory, genre, keeping structures tight and compelling and, perhaps most importantly, important insight into the world of the industry - and the journeys screenplays take to the first 'Action!'. Would recommend to anyone looking for further training into the profession... (read more)

Written on: 09/06/2013 by HDen
This was a great 1-day course for new entrants. It gives an overview of what the industry is like and what you might need to succeed in both screenwriting and script reading. My criticism would be that it is a little pricey considering it's aimed at people - like graduates - who are looking to find a way into the industry. (read more)

“Excellent, informative course”
Written on: 09/06/2013
A very good, intense, exhaustive course, covering all aspects of writing a good script report, information on the industry itself, a very useful list of key contacts, helpful course notes, and practical advice on how to get script-reading work, how to keep it, and how to build up a client base. There was much more of a focus on the pratical rather than the theory, and the course was very interactive, fun and interesting. He was an excellent course leader - engaging, witty, and full of wisdom... (read more)

Written on: 09/06/2013
A really good course outlining the basics of writing script reports. Knew very little on the topic before hand and now feel I have a good grasp of not only how to write a script report, but also how to go about getting work. Using films we'd already seen, and watching film clips, to analyse with more specificity was also really helpful and overall and interesting and insightful day. (read more)

“Good starting point”

The industrial scrips effective script reading course is a good stepping stone for anyone interested in entering the world of script reading/editing/film development. There was a good recap of what makes a god script followed by practical tips on how to write a report. Additionally we were given a wealth of notes for further reading which I found very helpful since you can't cover everything in one day. The course leader was very helpful and informative and made the 9 hours very interesting... (read more)

i recently attended the Masterclass for Graduates course, an intensive one day course that focussed on the technique of screenwriting in the morning and the practice of script reading in the afternoon.

I enjoyed the intense and very insightful contents of the course and it was delivered in a very beneficial manner by Jon Gilbert. The venue was good and very easy to find, including the course handouts and the layout of the room. I found the recap of screenwriting theory and structure very useful, as well as the reading aspect of the course which I knew very little about.

I have recently attended the 'Screenwriting and the World of Script Development Masterclass'. It was an intense one-day course that crammed as much theory and practice into its 8 hours as possible. It was very much like an extended university seminar held by Industry professionals, and as such it didn't taught you everything you needed to know, instead it stirred you in the right direction, highlighting the essential readings and giving an insider's overview of practices. By having done so... (read more)

I attended "Effective Script Reading" recently and it was a brilliant day. The documents they gave out proved very helpful and the instructor (I have forgotten his name!) was very friendly, knowledgeable and easy to listen to. The last hour of the course is what I found most interesting, since I have covered a lot of previous things, in my academic course at university, therefore I would recommend to everyone but students of Screen writing. Yet I am intrigued to look into their other... (read more)

Written on: 05/06/2013 by AnnaTv
I took a one day 'Screenwriting and World of Script Development' masterclass on Saturday 1 June 2013 and found the course to be very interesting and useful. It was very compact and covered many aspects of screenwriting and script development, as well as gave an insight into the industry itself and how to sell your work and build a career in the field. One aspect I thought could be better is if we could receive any course materials that we could take away and use for further study. (read more)

Although there was loads to learn I didn't feel overawed in fact time passed very quickly which I always think is a good sign.I felt that it was very professionally delivered with just the right balance of theory,watching film clips,Q & A and having a British Film Director taking Questions at the end was the icing on the cake.

Very helpful and inspiring course. I think a lot of the info on screenwriting craft and technique can be found out cheaper elsewhere (e.g. BBC Writersroom events), and I'd probably recommend something else as a starting point for complete beginners. That said, this gave some invaluable insights into the industry itself and how to go about breaking into it. I discovered avenues to explore which I definitely wouldn't have thought of otherwise, as well as lots of info on script-reading to which... (read more)

Industrial Scripts' Film Coverage Script Report is exactly what I expected, professional and thorough. But what I didn't expect is how thorough, how expansive (almost 6 pages), how insightful and how helpful it would be. The reader took great pains to illustrate the positive and the not so positive by referencing scenes and examples from my script; offered options as to approaching this complex story based on family history; and for me, a neophyte screenwriter (this is my first screenplay)...

I'm always sceptical of the script reading services industry that surrounds up and comers in the UK. There are a lot of people out there claiming to be script editors who have no real world experience who take cash from new writers for sub quality feedback. Happily the Industrial Scripts feedback was at the other end of the spectrum. The report was thorough, insightful and even though, as always with any subjective feedback, there were bits I didn't agree with, it was clear the person who... (read more)

I highly recommend the services of Jon Gilbert from Industrial Scripts, and Industrial in general. We originally went to the company for a Dry Run report on a project we were developing, and received a 'Consider' verdict. Although we were pleased with this feedback we felt as though the script could benefit from some further edits, and so hired Jon Gilbert for his Script Doctoring services.
