The Screenplay Dialogue Rewrite

What the dialogue rewrite pass requires and how the professional writer approaches it

The Rewrite

The screenplay dialogue rewrite -- the specific pass through the specific draft whose specific focus is the specific improvement of the dialogue whose first draft has produced the specific functional version that says what needs to be said and not the specific voice version that sounds like the specific character -- is the accountability journalism of the craft revision whose outcome the final script reflects.

The Approach

The specific approach: the specific cold read whose performance reveals the specific dialogue that the eye has approved but the ear rejects; the specific character voice test whose application to each specific line identifies the specific dialogue whose speaker could be replaced by any other character without the specific reader noticing; and the specific subtext pass whose identification of the specific subject underneath the specific surface dialogue produces the specific character revelation.

Screenplay.biz Coverage

Screenplay.biz covers the dialogue rewrite because the accountability journalism of the craft requires examining the specific revision process whose outcome the dialogue quality reflects, and because the dialogue rewrite is the specific craft skill whose mastery most directly distinguishes the professional voice from the developing writer voice.
