On the other hand, many don't!Īnother, more credible, explanation is that the cinema layout we use gives a good visual balance between description and dialogue, ensuring that if there is too much of either then it shows up in a very obvious way. And yet it is true that most scripts, if the balance of dialogue and action is about right, tend to work out at a page a minute. Well, dialogue tends to run faster (2 pages per minute or so) while action can be much, much slower (on Cimino's Deer Hunter there's a party described in a couple of lines that runs for over four minutes on its own).
