You win.

Was talking to a friend the other day and I brought up Julie’s article. He thought the current trend in screenwriting is exactly the opposite: tight, fast, economical.

I think the technique Julie mentions is effective only in a very few scenes of most screenplays.

I’m not sure I endorse the logic in your last line lol

The whole thing, apple and all, smells to high heaven!

Seriously though, even if it is out of context, it’s a “dangerous” article if anyone, not knowing any better, takes it as gospel. Shiny, fragrant, blood red apples could abound …

(LOL)

Admitted, without Julie’s full explanation it doesn’t seem to make much sense.

As a rule: what the audience can’t see or hear should not be in the screenplay.

But Julie knows what she’s talking about so there must be a good reason for it.

Strange article …
