Hello michael-s

I'm sending this review in connection with "Game of Thrones.


*Penw* Positives

It's a pleasure to find another screenwriter here on the site! There aren't many of us, so I always enjoy getting a chance to read scripts whenever I get the chance. *Smile*


*Penw* Suggestions

In general, I'm a little confused about what this scene is supposed to be. It starts out with a racist interaction between a white woman and a black man, and then abruptly ends with the woman getting killed by the birds she was watching. I think a little additional context for the transition between these two elements of the scene.

I also think a little more context is needed for the intro to the scene. As written, the very first line of dialogue is a white woman acting attacked and threatened by a black man for no reason. It feels like it comes a little out of nowhere; I think you need some additional dialogue or action description to give context for her strong reaction to a relatively mundane interaction.


*Penw* Overall

Overall, it's always difficult to fully evaluate a small vignette rather than an scene or a full script, but I think there's some potential here to turn this into a really compelling scene if you expand the exposition a little, provide some additional context, and transition between the interaction and the ending a little more smoothly. I hope this helps!


Respectfully,

Jeff
