Comedy Feature Film Screenplay Coverage Prompt

Get Executive-Minded Notes Before Anyone Else Reads Your Feature Film Screenplay.

You’ve finished your comedy feature screenplay but before you hand it to a writer, consultant, contest reader, producer, or industry contact, you want to know what’s actually on the page.

DIY Script Coverage turns your chosen AI tool into a rigorous first-pass development reader. Simply upload your complete screenplay, paste the included prompt, and receive comprehensive, screenplay-specific analysis without a questionnaire, complicated setup, or judgment.

This is a format-specific development prompt built exclusively for full-length narrative feature screenplays. It is not a general “analyze my writing” prompt with a different title.

The prompt evaluates your screenplay according to the demands of feature-film storytelling, including its central dramatic engine, protagonist journey, cause-and-effect structure, escalation, character relationships, pacing, climax, resolution, thematic development, and audience positioning.

It is designed specifically for comedy feature screenplays, including character comedy, broad comedy, satire, dark comedy, dramedy, farce, screwball, workplace, family, buddy, coming-of-age, action, romantic, absurdist, mockumentary, and mixed-genre comedy.

The prompt directs AI to analyze your screenplay for:

• Whether the premise, characters, and conflicts create a sustainable comedic engine
• Gaps in story logic, motivation, and cause and effect
• Protagonist goals, agency, contradictions, and transformation
• Each central character’s comic perspective, behavior, and blind spots
• Whether humor emerges from what characters want and how they pursue it
• Ensemble dynamics, status shifts, friction, alliances, and reversals
• Structural weaknesses and stalled comedic momentum
• Escalation, complications, consequences, surprise, and comic payoff
• The construction and progression of major comedic set pieces
• Whether jokes arise from established character and circumstance
• Repeated jokes or situations that fail to heighten or transform
• Scenes that reach their comic idea too slowly or leave it too quickly
• The balance between jokes, story information, and emotional development
• Visual comedy, dialogue rhythm, callbacks, and character-specific voices
• Tonal shifts between broad, grounded, dark, sincere, absurd, and dramatic material
• The clarity and consistency of the satirical target, when applicable
• Behavior that serves a joke but violates established character or story logic
• The effectiveness of the climax, emotional resolution, and comedic payoff
• Likely audience and promised comedic experience
• Three meaningful comedy feature-film comps
• A PASS, CONSIDER, or RECOMMEND rating
• Your three highest-priority revisions
• The strongest elements to protect in the next draft
• A practical, staged revision roadmap

Unlike a generic “review my screenplay” prompt, this tool instructs AI to read through the final page, cite specific scenes and page numbers, distinguish evidence from opinion, flag uncertainty, and avoid inventing material or forcing your film into a rigid beat sheet.

The result is not a final verdict on whether your screenplay is “good.” It’s an executive-minded development pass designed to help you see the draft more clearly, locate meaningful gaps, and strengthen the work before sharing it with a real human reader.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Upload your complete feature screenplay as a readable PDF.
2. Paste the included development-notes prompt into the same message.
