Depends on what type you’re writing. An emotion driven spot might demand more detail or description whereas a comedy might ask for direct writing.

But as a rule. I’ve found underwriting your descriptions helps everyone understand what is going on.

Better detail is better than more detail. You never want to write it in a way that makes it a slog to read.

flourish comes in the presenting of it.
focus in the writing of it.

This, save the majority of the detail for the presentation.

Medium flourish. Don’t want it to get lost in the weeds, but also selfishly try to lock in any specific scene direction I have heart for

No flourishes. Flourishes make the director’s job harder. Stick to the brief.

Hi fishes,

This annual appraisal I have got a good % of appraisal increment on my salary but I was not promoted to a senior developer (although I have been mentoring a junior dev in my team and been part of building the project by implementing new technologies and tweaks) and my total YoE is 3.5+ years. What could be the reasons? What should I do now?

Thanks in advance!!
