The script is the blueprint of a film. A high narrative grade requires a clear, interesting conflict with characters and plot that come together to create human interest. Does the narrative offer a unique perspective? For example, the screenwriter of The First Grader moved beyond a simple charming tale to deliver a sensitive and insightful look into a forgotten generation's traumatic past, resulting in a story far more complex and rewarding than expected. The audience should see from the perspective of the story's originality, emotional depth, and pacing.
