Making your script visual

sometimes you have a very dull scene. Like, you need to show a conversation between two guys and it really has nothing special in it. Make it visually interesting so your audience (and readers) will have an extra detail to hang on to.

The bandaid on Wallace's nape is a great example. We feel Bruce's pain, and we don't need to see Wallace's face. It's actually much better without seeing it. The bandaid does the trick for keeping us interested visually (as our mind is searching for an explanation or meaning in this small disturbing detail).

Make sure your script has this visual side, or else why would we watch?
