Re: How long to read a screenplay??
I read them far too fast.
I enjoy reading screenplays. That is my problem. I want to study the screenplay as I read it: Learn something, master a new technique, study how an effect was created.
Suddenly I've finished the script. I can view it in my head, whether I've ever seen the movie or not, but for the life of me I can't remember how the writer handled this or that or something else.
I've tried reading scripts the second or third time -- It doesn't help -- I forget I'm there to study.
So I've read one more script without learning a single thing.
