* What is a script analysis report (SAR?) Prior to reading your entire script … an SAR is a one-page evaluation of the first 10 pages of your script to determine if it’s creative, programming, and marketing trends, meet the needs of the of the company you’re submitting to.
* Why is a Script Analysis Report needed? It provides writers the advantage of seeing the same report industry executives will often have created prior to reviewing a script. The advantage for the writer is that edits can be made to a script prior to submitting it.

* Note: An SAR may not seem important, but if the first 10 pages of your script does not grab and hold the attention of the industry executive reviewing it, there's a high probability they will not spend an hour reading your script.

Why are the first 10 pages of a script so important?
* Why are the first 10 pages of a script so important? The viewing audience has a very short attention span due to an abundance of great content available on multiple devices and platforms. Also, research has shown there is an extremely short amount of time a film or series has to grab, hold, and capture the imagination of an audience. That’s why most films and series tend to excite and grab the attention of the audience within the first 2 pages (first 2-3 mins.)
For example, law & order starts off every episode with something that happens in the first minute!
That's the hook, then the question (who did it) and it's written for a level 3 quadrant.
The writing and creative structure of a script should reveal the following within the first 10 pages
*High Concept: What is the hook that makes the audience want to keep watching? (a.) example: think Law & Order or any genre that has some type of action happen in the first page.
* What is the CQ (Central Question of the story.) The script begins with an action, that creates the central question "who, what, or why." (a.) example: scene opens with an Amour Car being robbed, but only a box was taken (why.)
* What Quadrant Level is the script? ** Quadrant is defined as what demographic does it appeal to? - A movie that appeals to all four major demographics both male and female, and both over and under the age of 25 (is a level 4.)
