Show not Tell

When you write a script, typically you do not write what you cannot see (hear, taste, touch or smell).
If a character is confused, you would not write, "Bob looks confused." Rather, you would describe what SHOWS he is confused. For example, "Bob looks up at his friend, looks back at the paper in his hand, scratches his head, and looks back at his friend."

In other words, you want to SHOW, not TELL.
