Day Two: June 5th, 2018

On my second day, the team was getting ready for the table read for their next project, a serialized podcast. Because I signed a contract, I am not allowed to disclose any information about scripts or what each project is about.

To summarize again, my main job for the summer is to read original scripts and comics, and give my critique for each one in a specific Word document, called a coverage letter. In this document, I evaluate the story, structure, dialog, writing, commerciality, visual elements, title, and characters on a scale from "excellent" to "poor." I also give a synopsis of the script, discuss each leading and supporting character, leave comments about everything (positive and negative / what I would change or leave as is), and evaluate the project and writer(s) on a scale from "recommend" to "pass."

That is what I did after reading the script for episode one of their podcast. However, before I can even read it, Laura and Adam suggested I listen to several episodes of a completed podcast. That way, I can understand its format; so I listened to season one of "Serial." After that, I read EEP's podcast script and began my first coverage letter . However, I did not finish it yet.
