The Visit Comp

Hi everyone,

Just a quick question about dialogue - has anyone used a lot in their submission piece? I've used quite a bit and then when I read the winners from last year's comp, there was not that much dialogue at all. It's all a learning curve for me, but just curious as to how much dialogue other people use.

Thanks

I wouldn't worry about it either way. If the dialogue is realistic, necessary and appropriate to your piece no problem in my opinion.
