One of the biggest reasons for rejecting stories is the script having too shallow a point of view. That the stories tell rather than showing it through the eyes and feelings of the characters. We are looking to give new writers help with this in the future.
Just to give a brief example of what I mean, you have a scene…..
Peter finished his long boring meeting. It had been a long tiring day. He got up, put on his jacket and walked out into the hot sunshine and it felt good… is told without emotion and is a bit hollow.
Peter felt the stress of the day wash through him as he gave a huge sigh of relief. Christ, it had been a long day! The extended, tedious meeting, which he had not been looking forward to in the first place, had finally come to an end. He rose from the uncomfortable chair and flexed the muscles in his shoulder and back. He slipped on his old jacket, the cloth worn shiny at the elbows, and walked slowly outside. The sun warmed his face and he took in a deep liberating breath as he looked around the grounds of the stately home, the sunshine lifting his spirits.
Both say the same thing but the second is giving a little of the personal experience from Peter’s point of view, showing a little of his emotion quickly in a very short scene.
