Writer stays close to the original pitch and uses some original ideas and develops characters and dialogue, but they sometimes feel forced and unreal.
Excellent Work

Writer develops a unique storyline that is true to the pitch made in class. Writer uses original ideas and develops characters and dialogue that support the originality of the screenplay.
