Whats the difference between coverage and development notes?
Coverage is a sort of like a book report you used to write in grade school. It is written by “readers” and is designed to help busy movie people decide if your material is worth reading in its entirety. It’s basically a summary of your material with a few notes regarding its strengths and weaknesses. Development notes is a more in depth analysis of the material. It is designed to help writers who are in the process of rewriting their script. Before a screenplay is filmed, a creative exec usually provides these notes to the writer so that the script can be refined.
