The focus of an in-depth report can be tailored to requirements. However, with this report the script will be read a minimum of two times and analysis will be thorough enough to provide 10-12 pages of constructive comment. This report will be likely to deal in-depth with the narrative premise and use of theme, genre expectations, detail of structure throughout, as well as a more thorough look at character motivations and external actions in representing the conflict at stake. Depending on the genre a more in-depth discussion of dialogue, visual grammar, pace or tone may also be appropriate. Such as building on recurring imagery, more effectively escalating tension, or creating greater authenticity or individuality in character voices, for example.

In-depth development assistance can be appropriate to scripts at most stages of development, but the detail and focus of what is required will be discussed between consultant and client when agreeing on an appropriate fee.

If the in-depth involvement of a script consultant is appropriate to your needs it might also be worth considering arranging a development meeting or meetings. Here the developer can work one-to-one with a writer, or with writer and producer, often getting to the nub of any issues more swiftly.
