In this Film Courage interview Script Doctor/ and Teacher Cody Smart explains the difference between a script analyst, script consultant, and a script doctor lies in their level of involvement and the depth of their feedback. Starting as a script analyst, one begins by reading scripts, offering coverage, and honing their skills. Graduating to a script consultant entails providing more in-depth notes, including development and page notes, to analyze all aspects of the script. As a script doctor, one not only offers suggestions but also implements them, working closely with the writer or producer to polish the story while remaining true to its essence. When seeking a script consultant, it is advisable to look for someone with credentials and experience rather than anonymous services or interns, as their feedback can be more valuable.
Cody Smart is an independent writer and script doctor from Chile. She holds degrees in English Literature & Linguistics, Screenwriting, Development and Producing. She worked as a script analyst for Sony, she’s a judge for multiple script and film competitions, she’s written some award-winning shorts, she’s head of the coverage department at a script hosting site and she does a bi-monthly vlog with tips for Screenwriters for Story Data. She takes pride in helping writers take their work to the next level.

Stuff we use:
LENS - Most people ask us what camera we use, no one ever asks about the lens which filmmakers always tell us is more important. This lens was a big investment for us and one we wish we could have made sooner. Started using this lens at the end of 2013 - amzn.to/2tbtmOq
AUDIO
Rode VideoMic Pro - The Rode mic helps us capture our backup audio. It also helps us sync up our audio in post amzn.to/3MRq2nX
Audio Recorder - If we had to do it all over again, this is probably the first item we would have bought - amzn.to/2tbFlM9
LIGHTS - Although we like to use as much natural light as we can, we often enhance the lighting with this small portable light. We have two of them and they have saved us a number of times - amzn.to/2u5UnHv
